What is textconv ?

textconv is a perl script, that detects and changes the end-of-line characters used in text files.
This is useful for exchanging files between different operating systems, since each system has its own way:
Unix systems mark the line-end with the character 0A (hexadeximal).
Windows systems mark the line-end with the characters 0D 0A (hexadeximal).
Macintosh systems mark the line-end with the character 0D (hexadeximal).

textconv was tested with:

System Requirements

You need Perl (version 5.x)

Restrictions and known bugs

Only textfiles can be processed by textconv.
Textconv can't handle unicode text because it only processes 8-bit characters.
Don't convert unicode textfiles with textconv or the files could be destroyed.
