Hi all,

My programmers are at their wits end.. whatever cgi/perl scripts they create under Win98 just don't run under Unix ...

Can you recommend a good editor that they can use ?

I end up working on my perl scripts in windows alot. I have never had a problem. The key is not the editor, but how you transfer the file from win to unix. Make sure to transfer in binary mode not ascii. I have used wordpad (not recommended but it does work), notepad, etc. Most of the time I use Homesite. It's an HTML editor, but it also does context highlighting for perl and makes work on the corresponding html files easier. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

Hi! The best I know is Ultraedit which provides support and conversion to different formats (DOS, UNIX, MAC, ANSI, EBDIC) Find it in http://www.ultraedit.com Before I found Ultraedit I was using PFE, which also supports several formats. I don't remember any URL, sorry.

It is due to different EOL # conventions. DOS/Win use 0x0A 0x0D while unix uses only 0x0A. # And even a unix editor running under DOS will follow the DOS # EOL convention. # # So to make Scripts created/edited under Win run under Unix you have # (UNDER UNIX!) to remove any 0x0D at EOL. One way to perform this # task is to use tools like 'dos2unix' or however they may be called. # Or, in a unix editor search for 0x0D at EOL and replace with nothing. # You will have to use the 'Literal' key(sequence) of your unix editor # and then, holding down ALT, type '13' on the numeric keypad. # Or, holding down the right ALT key, press 'd'. There is an easier solution: see man recode. SuSE provides some practical shortcuts: dos2unix and unix2dos are standard aliasses, at least under SuSE 6.3. The first does `recode ibmpc..lat1', the other does `recode lat1..ibmpc'. Other options exist, macintosh, files encoded for other character sets, ... Hope this helps. Maarten Sneep
