Re: [ferret_users] [Ferret Users] A problem of SHAKEY with Ferret forMac 550
| BTW, when I use a JNL file created by Windows, I have to convert the

We talked about this in person yesterday, but it seems the
sed method I suggested didn't work since you are writing
this to the list. I'm sure you can make sed, awk, ruby, perl, etc.
do the job. But, I don't know how to do it off the top of my head.
So, I'm attaching a tiny C++ program to get rid of '\n'.
For those who are not familiar with the "newline problem",
a newline is represented differently on different OSes.
hexadecimal representation in C language
Unix/Linux 0a '\n'
Windows 0d 0a '\r' '\n'
Mac 0d '\r'
So, to convert a Windows textfile for Mac, you need to
remove '\n' characters.

// Compile it by

// $ g++ -o dos2mac dos2mac.cc

// and use it as
//
// $ ./dos2mac < script-win.jnl > script-mac.jnl

// This program is inefficient but is good enough for

int main()
{
char c;
while (std::cin.read(&c,1)) {if (c != '\n') std::cout.write(&c,1);}
