I hope you're not doing anything rash like changing your mount modes. Your main problem is that you need a full understanding of "text mode processing" vs. "binary mode processing". The FAQ contains an excerpt from me on this, read it. If you need more help I'd be happy to give it. Hey Charles, The script Doug has is trying to add the ^M to the end of each line. ---Charles Wilson wrote: > > Doug Carter wrote: > > > I'm having some trouble running a sed script with gun-win32. > > > > I have a script that converts text files from unix to dos: > > > > sed 's/$/^M/g' infile > outfile > > > > This command works fine on unix, but it doesn't work in dos. > > > > Can anyone enlighten me? > > > > TIA, > > > > Doug Carter > > Well, this script will only work under cygwin if you are using a binary > mount.
