CTRL-M and CTRL-J characters in files
I uses Windows 2000 machine and use Jcreator LE for my Java code. When I am adding files to CVS using WinCVS client, somehow other memebers of team using Linux machines are getting ^M^J in their files. Why is it happening and moreover how can I get rid of this automatically while checking-in and checking-out fiiles. There is a settings in WinCVS preferences Global tab which has a checkbox Checkout text files with the Unix LF (0xa) and I already have this checkbox checked. What should I do to avoid this problem?

Re: CTRL-M and CTRL-J characters in files
Hi, I uses Windows 2000 machine and use Jcreator LE for my Java code. When I am adding files to CVS using WinCVS client, somehow other memebers of team using Linux machines are getting ^M^J in their files. Why is it happening and moreover how can I get rid of this automatically while checking-in and checking-out fiiles. There is a settings in WinCVS preferences Global tab which has a checkbox Checkout text files with the Unix LF (0xa) and I already have this checkbox checked. On a Windows system you normally should *not* check this checkbox if your editor uses CR/LF (^M/^J) as line ending. Or, if this option is checked you must configure the editor to use Unix LF instead of CR/LF if possible.

Re: CTRL-M and CTRL-J characters in files
The CVS client automatically handles the differences between Windows and UNIX line endings by converting the files when you do the checkout or update (or commit, or...). So, as unintuitive as it sounds, uncheck this option. Then you'll get the Windows line endings without those being imported into the repository. To cleanup your current problem, I'd sugest have your Linux guys check out the files, run them through dos2unix until the files are cleaned up, check them in, and then you need to do an update or checkout without that box checked. - Steve prolist wrote: I uses Windows 2000 machine and use Jcreator LE for my Java code.

Use Unix line endings on Unix platforms, Windows line endings on Windows platforms. ...because your WinCVS is checking out with UNIX EOLs just fine but your text editor is most likely saving files with Windows line endings (\r\n - - \r and CTRL-M are the same but I don't know where your CTRL-Js are coming from) and WinCVS isn't converting the line endings back to UNIX format on commit because you requested that it not do so.

Re: CTRL-M and CTRL-J characters in files
The line ending conversion happens with every (relevant) command that cvs does. Checkouts, commits, updates, exports, etc. Different OSes use different line endings on text files. CVS deals with text files, and so handles this very nicely. (but, see the earlier comment about the -kb flags) - Steve prolist wrote: But, isn't that option only about checkouts, what about check-ins I can't locate any poption specific to that.

The WinCVS preferences aren't explicit enough in their labling, but the option is symmetrical. If you ask it not to convert LF to CR/LF on checkout, it won't try to convert CR/LF back to LF on checkin.

WinCVS probably (and properly) assumes that the option will apply in both directions. It really does *NOT* make sense to use one line ending on check-out, but another on check-in. BTW, I disagree with Steve's comment about this being unintuitive - it makes perfect sense. Use the line-ending convention for the platform you're using. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
