user Nkuvu Note the silly hat in accordance with [id://471642|PerlMonks Silly Hat Week]. I know, the week's up. But I like the hat. Eee, line end-y goodness: <code>Unix to DOS: perl -i -pe 's/\012/\015\012/g' unix-file DOS (Mac? I'm so confused) to Unix: perl -i -pe 's/\015\012/\012/g' mac-file</code> [planetscape] pointed to this nice [href://http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~craig/utility/flip/|reference page] on the line endings (including a C++ utility file), ending my confusion. Some simple links: <ul> <li><a href="http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/cbhistory.cgi?site=PM">Chatterbox history</a> <li><a href="http://grenekatz.org/cgi-bin/MarkovBot?id=nkuvu">Markov Nkuvu</a> <li>[id://43037|Linking:] <ul><li>By Title: <code>[nodetitle]</code> <li>By Node ID: <code>[id://nodeid]</code> <li>A Monk's Scratch Pad: <code>[pad://monk name]</code> <li>Module searches at cpan.org: <code>[cpan://XML::Parser]</code> <li>Jargon File Entries: <code>[jargon://search terms]</code> <li>Link titles: <code>[http://perlmonks.org|The Perl Monastery]</code> </ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/">MS Visual C++ Compiler</a> </ul> Just went searching for this all over, and finally figured it out: The DOS record separator can be printed with <code>chr(0x1E)</code> which makes a ▲ character (that should be a triangle, useful for delimiting variables in print statements used for debugging). I saw it here on PM somewhere recently, but can't find it now... oh well, I figured it out.
