wisecracker, you can split long lines like that with a backslash:
This does not actually add newlines to the resulting string, as you see.
I hope I don't have code formatting practices imposed on my scripts... in my experience enforced formatting practices usually make things less readable and harder to edit.
I am actually well aware of that except I was wondering if the parser would chop at exactly 80 characters of which case the could corrupt the data if in mid flight inside a 4 character '\x??' string.
I treid it and it does corrupt.
Results:-
As it is mvdan has adequately explained his position.
I have scripts which I want to convert in Linux format.
Note these scripts are in txt format.But I want to convert them in Linux, as DBA's will be using this script.
Any command or utility which converts tht files in proper Linux format.
Thanks in Adavce.

nyshell
NYSHELL(1) General Commands Manual NYSHELL(1)NAME
nyshell - tool to generate shell scripts to build nypatchy output
SYNOPSIS
nyshell logfile options cradle [ print ] [ .go ]
DESCRIPTION
nyshell is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see nypatchy(1). Specifically, given
the log file of a nypatchy run, it can create a shell script to compile all the source code files output by nypatchy. This program is sim-
ilar to fcasplit except that it takes the log file as input instead of a source file, and it remembers which source code files have already
been compiled in previous runs.
USAGE
logfile is the name of the log file coming from nypatchy, with a default extension of ".log". A cradle file cradle may be given to add
additional setup options such as desired compilers or compiler flags to use. (See the reference manual for more details.) print is the
file to which informational output should be written (the default is standard output if omitted), and options is a sequence of single-char-
acter flags. This program generates a shell script file named name.shfca (with name being the part of logfile sans extension) that can be
run to build all object files. The file name.xqtlog "remembers" the current state.
The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the Nypatchy interactive shell.
OPTIONS
Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with no space separation and no use of the - character (except that it
can be used in place of the options field if no options are desired). Alphabetic options are not case-sensitive.
A Force recompilation of all routines.
B Bypass tests based on the .xqtlog file.
E Bypass tests based on the .xqtlog file if it is empty.
H Print help information only.
Q "quick" - Do not print the setup.
S Print the setup only (only together with H).
U "up to date" - Check that all .o files are ready to go into a library.
V "verbose" - Print the complete setup.

The reference manual for the Nypatchy suite of programs is available in compressed PostScript format at the following URL:
http://wwwasdoc.web.cern.ch/wwwasdoc/psdir/p5refman.ps.gz
Running the command "nyshell help .no" also gives some brief help on usage. Running the command "nyshell - hs .no" prints the default set-
up (compiler names and options) to be used in the generated shell scripts.
