I have a 486/66 8M with 4 ne2k clones in it. What does the bridging code get me? Every machine on each of the subnets can see every other machine right now with just the basic routing table? Is it a performance issue? Bridging provides you with a bunch of options and features 1. Allows you

Re: Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts

Somewhere in the dank recesses of my mind, I recall a utility that would strip the extra ^M's from a text file copied to a unix box. Well, it seems that Linux also considers these ^M's extranious, is there such a standard utility or do I have to dig even deeper to remember sed/awk/grep commands?

Re: Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts

Dale Scheetz: The seesat5 package (a satellite tracking program) provides a little program called cr that will convert text files from DOS style carriage returns to Unix ones and back. Seesat5 needs the facility to incorporate DOS generated element files on the Linux file system without the

Re: Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts

Here's a sed script that I've used for years on my old SCO Unix box. I'm not actually positive it works on Linux because I haven't tried it, but sed is sed, right?... It adds ^M's if they're missing and deletes them if found. (i.e. one script that will do both conversions) sed -e ' s-^M--g t

tr -d '\r' dosfile unixfile removes all ^Ms, even if they are not at the end of the line where MSDOS seems to put them. tr(1) is small and fast. perl -p -i.bak -e 's/\r$//;' dosfile renames the dosfile dosfile.bak and writes the corrected output in dosfile. The $ anchors the search
