On a similar note, the other day I had a postscript file with
an embedded pixmap graphic which contained line breaks represented
only as "\r", in addition to the usual DOS "\r\n" at the
end of each line. The graphic with the \r's came up, in Unix,
as a single over-900K line, which broke most programs I tried
to use to manipulate the file (those programs were not written in
Perl, clearly :-)
So based on this snippet, I came up with the following one-liner:
perl -pi -e 's/\r\n?/\n/g' <i>file</i>
which solved my problem.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
