EOLine v1.0 =========== Distribution ============ "EOLine" is Copywrite (c) 1992, Bill J. Phillips, and is not intended for commercial use. It is placed in the public domain as of September 1992 and may be freely distributed. Description =========== "EOLine" will take a text file as input and output a new file with the end-of-line character(s) changed to any one of the following: 1. L (line-feed) only 2. CR (carrige-return) only 3. CR&LF (carrige-return and line-feed) You do not need to know the end-of-line format of the input text file. "EOLine" will detect any of the three possible end-of-line character formats and change it to which ever one you need in the output file. To use "EOLine" just open a CLI window and supply three parameters: input_file_name, output_file_name, and a switch. The switches are L for line-feed (ASCII 10) * switches may be upper or lower case R for carg-return (ASCII 13) B for both (ASCII 13 & 10) Usage ===== eoline input - any standard file name output - any standard file name l - change EOL to LF -Ami format r - change EOL to CR -Mac format b - change EOL to CR&LF -DOS format Typing just eoline at the CLI will produce the above template. Example: ------- eoline HD0:mytext.doc RAM:newtext.doc l The above command line will change the end-of-line characters in "mytext.doc" to LF only in the output file "newtext.doc". eoline RAM:newtext.doc HD0:mytext.doc b The above command line will change the end-of-line characters in "newtext.doc" to CR&LF in the output file "mytext.doc". Logic? ===== This program was written with SAS/C 5.1. The program logic would have been much simpler if I had required another parameter designating the end-of-line format for the input file. I decided to make it a bit more of a challenge and also more convenient for the user. If you find this program convenient or useful feel free to send me a couple of bucks or a note. However, nothing is required. Jay Phillips Genie: B.Phillips13 9305 N. Oakleaf Ave Tampa, FL 33612 USENET: tbag!jayson@tscs.com
