Here is a literal example attached — the README from turbo assembler The very last character is ^Z (or ASCII 26 or 0x1A)
As it is, file says data for it Remove that char and file recognizes it alright # With ^Z at EOF $ file README README: data $ With ^Z removed $ file README README: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators $ PS At first I thought to file the bug upstream but that takes me to a 1987(!!) webpage: https://www.darwinsys.com/file/ ** Attachment added: "README" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/2122399/+attachment/5908034/+files/README -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122399 Title: file doesnt recognize MSDOS text files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/2122399/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
