Converting File Formats (Unix to Windows)

Hi,
Greetings. Not sure if this is the right forum..... In case I should visit
some other forum please let me know.

Does Dot.NET provide a quick method/way to convert a UNIX text file to DOS
format?

Cheers!!!

re: Converting File Formats (Unix to Windows)

The short and sweet of it is, Unix text files use "\n" (LineFeed) for CRLFs.
Windows uses "\r\n" (CarriageReturn-LineFeed). Simplest explanation is,
replace "\n" with "\r\n".

Thanks for your time Caller and Kevin. Appreciate it much.
I guess I have to do it the "Simple" way.... and replace "\n" with "\r\n"...

Try textimp from
http://whiskeyclone.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

It a simple fast little utility that adds a shell extention. Once
installed you just right click on a file in windows explorer and chooses
Win -> Unix or Win <- Unix

Hope this helps
