Hi folks; I'm trying to convert a test file, src code for a legacy computer, whose eol is a single cr into one with a newline subbed for each cr, and tr is being a pita, it broken, or there is PEBKAC. If I use this syntax: tr -c \r \n <filename >filename2 Then the whole file is converted to nnnnnnnnnn's, every byte. The manpage (and pinfo tr too) is, shall we say, completely lacking in how to handle the file I/O. So how do you use tr?" Or is there a better tool for this than tr? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
