I've already been through these cmds and many more but I have been unable to come up with a combination that will convert the files and then put them in a new structure that has all the same subdirs that the original has. get file, convert file, put file in the same subdir as original but in new structure. I have the new directory structure built. That was easy, find . -type d -exec mkdir -p ../Dir2/{} \; where Dir1 was original and Dir2 is the new structure. I just haven't come up with the right combination to put the files in the proper subdir under Dir2. I'm also having problems with On Thu, 2007-12-06 at 16:13 -0800, Randall R Schulz wrote:

I'm looking for either a utility or simple script (bash/perl) to convert text files from linux (lf) format to dos (cr/lf).
I need to move over 10k files and maintain the directory structure while doing it. A lot of the files and some of the directories have spaces in the name. I can process them on my system and then move them to the win server. I also have to maintain the original files & structure.
Any and all assistance is appreciated.
Does telling you to never, ever use Windows count as assistance? No matter, I use it too...
Anyway, here are some of the elements you have to work with:
- The "find" command It has an option ("-print0") to print file names with NUL termination instead of the usual newline termination.
- The "xargs" command It has an option ("-0"), a counterpart to find's -print0, that makes it read file names with NUL termination
- The "unix2dos" command This does the basic text file format conversion.
Check 'em out.
