How to convert the line endings of a text file from DOS to Unix?

Question

I have this php code saved in text file, I want to convert this text file to Unix line endings. How?

 <?php

Answer 1

There is a utility for this:

dos2unix -o $output_file $input_file

Check the man pages for more options.

There are other clever sed hacks too, but better use a tried and tested utility than hacking with sed, which one may not know that well.

Answer 2

Something like:

<?php
$file = file_get_contents("file.php");
$file = str_replace("\r", "", $file);
file_put_contents("file.php", $file);

=)

EDIT 1

If you are on Linux - there is the good editor named Kate (converts encoding and line-end)

Answer 3

on *nix, without installing anything:

cat yourFile | tr '\r\n' '\n' > newFile

then, you can test your newFile, and replace the old one if you're happy

Answer 4

If dos2unix is not available, todos/fromdos might be:

fromdos <filename>
