How to identify whether the script is in Unix format or not ?
Hi All,
I have the below scenario in my environment
Developers used to copy file from windows to Linux box. Some time on the copied file developers miss to run the dos2unix utility. Because of this script gets failed during the execution. Most of the failures are due to the dos2unix format issue.
Is there any way to identify if the script is not in a UNIX format ?
