Re: How to convert files
Fabian,
Thanks for the info. I like use scripting but I prioritize the safe way.
I think that find / flip is safe, clear, easy, dificult to make a mistake (few arg)
and save time.
Thanks,
Luis

Instead of installing an extra application you could cat your files
through sed.

TEXT CONVERSION AND SUBSTITUTION:
# IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines
(CR/LF) to Unix format
sed 's/.$//' # assumes that all lines end with CR/LF
sed 's/^M$//' # in bash/tcsh, press Ctrl-V then Ctrl-M
sed 's/\x0D$//' # gsed 3.02.80, but top script is easier
# IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format
sed "s/$/`echo -e \\\r`/" # command line under ksh
sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/" # command line under bash
sed "s/$/`echo \\\r`/" # command line under zsh
sed 's/$/\r/' # gsed 3.02.80
# IN DOS ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format
sed "s/$//" # method 1
sed -n p # method 2
# IN DOS ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines (CR/LF) to Unix format
# Can only be done with UnxUtils sed, version 4.0.7 or higher.
# Cannot be done with other DOS versions of sed. Use "tr" instead.

tr -d \r outfile # GNU tr version 1.22 or higher

You should use xargs in this case.
Greetings,
