Re: CRLF, LF ... CR ?

Hi Johannes.

I've changed...
	tr '\\r' '\\n'
...to...
	tr '\\15' '\\12'

...As you are right in that it is more correct. (Then in theory, it would be portable).
[I once came across tftpd, tried compiling it on a Mac, but it failed to work, because \r and \n were swapped on the compiler, so I asked the author to use \15 and \12, which made it fully portable]

It now works even better. I can't and won't complain - thank you. =)


Love
Jens

Hi Jeff and Drew.

Thank you for your quick replies! :)

The diffs look nasty yes; that's my main issue.
It can be worked around in many ways; eg a simple (but time consuming) way:
$ git diff mypcb.osm >mypcb.diff && nano mypcb.diff

-It'd be better to just pipe it into a regex, which changes CR to LF 
on the fly.

OsmondPCB is able to read files that has mixed LF and CR. (By mixed, 
I do not talk about CRLF)

That is good news. Just write a 'clean' filter that amounts to

   tr '\015' '\012'

You don't need a 'smudge' filter that reverts this conversion.
