Re: Is there a good way to unify text files something like dos2nix shell script(s) do?

Perhaps a starting point on trailing spaces and Windows carriage returns from the a*.pl files in the current directory:

$ perl -i.bak -pe 's/\s*[\r\n]+$/\n/g;' ./a*.pl

merci! Laurent_R. I use something similar, myself. But I'm not inclined to make any changes to any of the files, until I've managed to discover their encoding, and then change them (successfully) into utf-8. Otherwise, I often end up with "mojibake" -- Mojibake. Thanks again, for taking the time to reply, Laurent_R. --Chris Yes. What say about me, is true.	[reply]
