Full Discussion: Convert ASCII Text, with CRLF
Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions Convert ASCII Text, with CRLF Post 302926083 by Don Cragun on Friday 21st of November 2014 02:59:36 AM

What is the output from the command:
Code:
od -bc file

where file is the name of the file containing the 2nd script you showed us in your 1st post:
Code:
#!/bin/sh 
for file in "$@" 
do         
if file $file | grep "ASCII text, with CRLF"; then 
                echo "converting $file" 
                sed -i 's/^M//g' $file 
        fi   
done

This will tell us how the shell and sed will interpret the command:
Code:
sed -i 's/^M//g' $file

Please also show us the exact command line you used to invoke the script above and the exact output it produced (and please use CODE tags when showing us any sample input, output, and code).

Show us the output from the command:
Code:
file ~cs252/Assignments/ftpAsst/d3.dat wintest.txt ./asciiFix.sh /usr/share/dict/words

This will tell us whether or not the grep will find anything in the files you're processing.

Whenever you're trying to debug a shell script, consider adding the command:
Code:
set -xv

into your script just after the line:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

to trace the commands the script is executing.

locale::codes::script

Locale::Codes::Script(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Locale::Codes::Script(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_alias	( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_code_alias	( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
