Getting rid of the CR

Getting rid of the CR

Hi,

at the risk of asking something really stupid, I'll throw this one:

The scenario: all my include (.h) files were in DOS format (don't ask me
why... maybe because my first installation of B20.1 mounted / as textmode),
and this was confusing gcc's preprocessor. All my mounts are binary now. My
first approach to solve this was this small bash script:

#!/bin/sh

ex $1 << EOF
set ff=unix
wq
EOF

(the 'ex' program I'm using is a link to vim 5.5, which is able to convert
DOS-->UNIX by simply setting the appropriate file type)

The script runs without complaints, but doesn't work =T (i.e. the files
remain in DOS mode) The point is: if I do the same ex editing on the command
line:

ex some-file
set ff=unix
wq

it works -- the file is overwritten in UNIX format. Any hint why it doesn't
work on my here document?

BTW: After some useless fight, I modified the script to use 'tr', which gets
the job done as well, but forces me to use a temporary file...

TIA,

Andre

I thought that too ;)

My CYGWIN is:
notitle binmode glob ntea ntsec

uname -a:
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 COSTA   22.0(0.16/3/2) 1999-11-23 09:38:16 i586 unknown

(it corresponds to B20.1 patched with 19991122 snapshot)

Ok, technically, you're right. Let's just say I'd like to understand why the
different behavior ;)

Best regards,

What does you CYGWIN variable look like?  What version of the cygwin dll are
you using? (`uname -a')
-8<-

So?  You use a temporary file either way.  It's just that one you have to use
manually while the other is created behind the scenes.
