What is textconv ?
textconv is a perl script, that detects and changes the end-of-line
characters used in text files.
This is useful for exchanging files between different operating systems,
since each system has its own way:
Unix systems mark the line-end with the character 0A (hexadeximal).
Windows systems mark the line-end with the characters 0D 0A
(hexadeximal).
Macintosh systems mark the line-end with the character 0D
(hexadeximal).
textconv was tested with:
- Perl 5.8.1
- Perl 5.8.0
- Perl 5.6.1
- Perl 5.6.0
- Perl 5.004
- Perl 5.001
System Requirements
You need Perl (version 5.x)
Restrictions and known bugs
Only 8-bit text files should be processed with textconv.
Textconv only handles text encodings with 8-bit characters.
Don't convert files with unicode encodings like UTF-16 or UTF-32
because textconv might destroy the file (UTF-8 is an 8-bit encoding
and should be no problem).
Bug reports, comments, ...
Please let me know, if you encounter problems with textconv.
