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.
