Help with shell script: moving end of line character
Hello.
I have a file (old.txt) that I need to copy into another file (new.txt).
Each line on old.txt ends with CR/LF but the position of CR/LF varies from one record to another.
I need to copy each line of record to new.txt and move CR/LF in pos 165.
Can I use awk to achieve this? How? If not, what other options can be used?
Thank you. Your response(s) are greatly appreciated.
