On 6/13/07 at 3:54 PM, Bill Briggs <email@hidden> spake thusly:
I want to take a text file with Mac (cr) line endings and
change to UNIX (lf) line endings (eventually I'm piping it to
awk, which needs the lf or it sees it all as one line).
So far I can find and clobber all of the cr's, but can't get it
to replace with lf's. I'm doing this (where you get the ^M by
holding Ctrl and pressing V and Return in sequence). Note that
the replace field is empty in the following.
sed -e 's/^M//g' t.txt | cat > b.txt
I've tried replacing with \f, \n, \x0A, and nothing seems to
work. I can't seem to determine the magic sauce to get that
line feed inserted.
Then again, maybe it's not possible to do that with sed, but I can't see why not.
