The dos2unix and unix2dos can be replaced (on UNIX) by awk '{print $0 "\r"}' < tcnv.unix > tcnv.dos awk 'BEGIN{RS="\r\n"}{print $0}' < tcnv.dos > tcnv.unix where it is possibly better to use \015 for \r and \012 for \n. Note multi-byte $RS is "unspecified", but the above works with gawk, mawk, nawk and busybox awk (v1.36.0.git). --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
