Oops and I got it wrong I just did a dos2ux.. Sorry about that

Try to write a script that you call ux2dos with just this inside:
Code:
awk '{printf("%s\015\n", $0)}' $1 > $2

then make it executable
Code:
 chmod 775 ux2dos

then try with your hello.txt:
Code:
 ./ux2dos hello.txt newhello.txt

and see what you get with vi edting with vi newhello.txt now you should have the ^M char at the end of lines
What I have noticed though is on that on this debian cat doesnt print the unprintable char unless you specify with -v option:
Code:
ort-f/vbe $ ./ux2dos 0001.txt 0001_conv.txt
mnas:/port-f/vbe $ cat -v 0001_conv.txt
 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9^M
1 2 3 4 5^M
3 4 5 6^M
5 6 7^M
6 7^M
mnas:/port-f/vbe $ cat 0001_conv.txt
 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 2 3 4 5
3 4 5 6
5 6 7
6 7

I wonder if that was not our issue as I dont see why all our suggestions fails from the beginning

PHAR.INTERCEPTFILEFUNCS(3)						 1						PHAR.INTERCEPTFILEFUNCS(3)

Phar::interceptFileFuncs - instructs phar to intercept fopen, file_get_contents, opendir, and all of the stat-related functions

SYNOPSIS
finalpublicstatic void Phar::interceptFileFuncs (void ) DESCRIPTION
instructs phar to intercept fopen(3), readfile(3), file_get_contents(3), opendir(3), and all of the stat-related functions. If any of these functions is called from within a phar archive with a relative path, the call is modified to access a file within the phar archive. Absolute paths are assumed to be attempts to load external files from the filesystem. This function makes it possible to run PHP applications designed to run off of a hard disk as a phar application. PARAMETERS
No parameters. RETURN VALUES
EXAMPLES
Example #1 A Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) example <?php Phar::interceptFileFuncs(); include 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/file.php'; ?> Assuming that this phar is at /path/to/myphar.phar and it contains file.php and file2.txt, if file.php contains this code: Example #2 A Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) example <?php echo file_get_contents('file2.txt'); ?> Normally PHP would search the current directory for file2.txt, which would translate as the directory of file.php, or the current direc- tory of a command-line user. Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) instructs PHP to consider the current directory to be phar:///path/to/myphar.phar/ and so opens phar:///path/to/myphar.phar/file2.txt in the above example code.
