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.

CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands
SYNOPSIS
CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands
DESCRIPTION
This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
in it to execute, and then executes them.
A sample file might look like this:
# first, update all the source files
x --update_source
# find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
# test them, and store the error log
a ^KANE$'
t *
p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log
# and inform us we're good to go
! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"
Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
