Re: DOS line endings - how to cope with these?

Nedit folks,

I offer my trusted Perl hack for line-endings. Over the years it's become
the only thing I use for 100% reliablity on all platforms. Perl in stream
mode has totally robust handling of \r and \n.

cat file | perl -p -e 's/(\r\n|\r|\n)/\n/g' > file2
