Hi We are having some problems - the majority of our files require ascii transfers between our unix servers and PCs. They are however being transferred as binary for some reason even though they are just plain text files. This means (when going from unix to pc) the files come down without a carriage return at the end of lines. And when going from pc to unix they end up with ^M on the end of each

Maybe that's because the M$ "solutions" are crap, and much better alternatives already exist. > If you want to view UNIX text files correctly on a W9x

Hi, I'm new on this list, and just skimmed through the archives, so I appologize if this has been requested before. I read in the FAQ that you do not convert. LF to CR/LF because there is no sure way of knowing what type of file something is. I could see that this would cause problems if you converted a binary file or some other data file. But what if you assign a directory that would always

From: Christian Hesse <mail at eworm.de> Logging to stderr results in line endings being terminated with carriage return (\r) and new line (\n). While this is fine for terminals it may have undesired effects when running from crond and logging to syslog or similar. I run ssh from cron on an recent linux host. Viewing logs with journalctl I see: Sep 06 16:50:01 linux CROND[152575]: [96B

With a has_one/belongs_to relationship, what''s the best way to guarantee that the belongs_to object gets created and is accessible alongside the has_one object? I *think* the after_create callback is a good choice, but I discovered an oddity while trying it. F''rinstance, if every horse has a carriage: ============ ActiveRecord::Schema.define do create_table(:horses) {|t|

Hi! Can anyone give me some pointers on how to deploy a Rails application developed under Windows with RadRails at a Unix Host (Textdrive). I?ve heard of switch tower, but have never used it. Does it have a routine to convert my Windows Carriage Returns/Line Feeds to Unix style? Is there something else I should know? Also, if somebody can point me to a good tutorial on setting up Rails to

Is there any option that will covert a text file from one system to the other? I have a few files on linux with extension TXT. There are plain text files. On NT, TXT is associated with the "notepad" and opens with the file as one long string. This is the typical CR/LF conversions between Unix and DOS. Can Samba convert the text files based on the client? Subba Rao subb3@attglobal.net

I apologize in advance if I'm wasting bandwidth with a simple question, but I was unable to find a solution for this problem in the documentation... I've got a set of shares set up on a SUN Enterprise 5500 using Samba 2.0.4. In Windows NT, I map a drive to the share. When I copy a text file from Windows NT to the SUN, editing the file in UNIX shows that ^M has been added to the end of

Hi, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for handling a simple problem. A client gave me a comma separated value file (call it x.csv) that has an id and name and address for about 25,000 people (25,000 records). I used read.table to read it, but then discovered that there are stray carriage returns on several records. This plays havoc with read.table since it starts a

I have found that Samba does not seem to handle the ^M EOL character very well. This seems to be a big problem with Windows Notepad and then in vi for UNIX. Other than the ux2dos and dos2ux commands does anyone know of another solution or if this has been fixed in a more current release of Samba? Thanks!

Colleagues, I am using R 2.4.0 on both a Mac (10.4.8) and Linux (RedHat 9). To read data from an Excel spreadsheet, I do "save as" in Excel, then select the "Text (tab-delimited)" format. The resulting file uses a tab separator and I can usually read the file using read.delim. Sometimes, the header row contains embedded carriage returns. When I view the file,

Hi, I've checked all the docs I can find and this top icisn't mentioned, so I'm guessing there is no such thing, but I have users who swear that VisionFS used to automatically convert unix text files to windows text files (change the EOL to have both a carriage return and a newline, instead of just a newline). I think the user is mistaken, but just wanted to check. Is there a way

Hope this is not too trivial I am reading a large file using scan. In one part of this file there is a chunk of text within which i need to know the positions of line breaks. But scan seems only An example of the file is: " a 0 1 0 bftt 020 cftt T 1 R a 0 1 2 1 2 b 0 1 2 2 2 c 0 10 00 " so precisely i need in the scanned file in R to know where each carriage return is in the file

Quick question - if i want to separate a long string of text, separated by single carriage returns, into an array of paragraphs, I can use the following code: paragraphs = article.content.split("\n") The "\n" means a carriage return, as far as I can tell. If I wanted to take text, that had been written using the more common double carriage returns, into an array of

Having problems with the write.table function. I can write a tab delimited file just fine, but for each line in my matrix its inputs a carriage return when i dont want it to. For example my matrix might be: ID V1 V2 V3 FARY1004 1 2 3 FARY2067 2 3 1 FARY4587 2 2 2 And I want the written File to be: FARY1004 1 2 3FARY2067 2 3 1FARY4587 2 2 2 TIA -- View this

I have a comma separated data file with no carriage returns and what I'd like to do is 1. read the data as a block text 2. search for the string that starts each record "record_start", and replace this with a carriage return. Replace will do, or just add a carriage return before it. The string is the same for each record, but it is enclosed in double quote marks in the file.

I have finally competed setting up the samba server and setup the share between NT and Samba server. However, when I open a unix text file in Windows NT using notepad, i see many funny characters and the text file is not in order (Just like when I ftp the unix text file out into NT in binary format) ...I think this has to be something to do with whether the file transfer is in Binary format or

Hi, I discovered when using my fuse fs for connecting to a remote host using sftp that the new server version 7.4 sends a greeter which is not according the format desribed in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253#section-4 There is written that the greeter "MUST be terminated by a single Carriage Return (CR) and a single Line Feed (LF) character (ASCII 13 and 10, respectively)."
