unix2dos

Cbeck527 · 2009-05-25 21:16:26

Is it available via pacman? A search of the forums returned a few things about dos2unix, but not the reverse. Dell's biosdisk utility needs /usr/bin/unix2dos to create a BIOS upgrade boot image.

Thanks,
Cbeck

Hi, try this...

sudo pacman -Ss dos2unix
extra/hd2u 1.0.3-1
Dos2Unix text file converter

BTW, it works both ways. dos2unix or unix2dos.

Am I being an idiot and doing something completely wrong? It's quite possible

unix2dos would not work unless you manually aliased it to dos2unix --u2d (or dos2unix -D).

% pacman -Ql hd2u
hd2u /usr/
hd2u /usr/bin/
hd2u /usr/bin/dos2unix

% dos2unix -h
...
    --u2d, -D    perform DOS -> UNIX conversion
...

Running MS Office on the Windows side (maybe also OOo, you have to check), copy&pasting the contents to the workspace would sort it out.

Majorix: Either you don't understand the utility, or you've been doing it in a massively bloated fashion.

a quickie replacement for dos2unix:
tr -d '\r'

Another set of replacements:

dos2unix() { awk "{ sub(\"\r\$\", \"\"); print }" $1 > $2; }
unix2dos() { awk "sub(\"\$\", \"\r\")" $1 > $2; }
