Reading a DOS text file and writing out Mac

Is there a way to set the EOL character that Python recognizes? For
example, I'd like to set it to cr/lf (okay, that's eol characters) when
reading a file (DOS text) and set it to just cr when writing out (Mac).
Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Jen

Hi, I have an array of data (which I am getting from a socket connection). I am working on a program which acts on this data but the program is written to work on data from a file (not from an array). I cannot change anything in the program but can add some features by which I can convert this array of data into a file. The easiest thing would be to write the data into a file (in hard disk) and use it. But I will be working on thousands...

Hello. I'm writing an application that writes to a file a month, day, year, number of comments, then some strings for the comments.

I tried saving a record for 6/26/2004 and 7/26/2004 and it read it in as the day, year, and number of...

Hello peeps, I am using PHP 5.2.2 together with MP3_Id (a PEAR module for reading and writing MP3 tags). I have been using PHP on the command line (Mac OS X Unix shell, to be precise), and am getting on more or less OK. So far, I have managed to parse my tab-delimited .txt file properly into an array, and then use this array to update the tags on a bunch of MP3 audio files. Nice.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
