Converting Unix text to windows
Post 74736 by d11wtq on Monday 13th of June 2005 09:41:49 AM

Either you're tranferring the file in binary mode rather than ascii mode or you can try using this to fix your problem (sorry I'm a PHP man and don't know a better way off-hand).
Save the following as "unix2dos" filename
------------------------------------
Then simply run:
chmod +x unix2dos
./unix2dos oldfilename.txt newfilename.txt
and voila! A dos compatible file

Save the following as "unix2dos" filename
------------------------------------
PHP Code:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$in = $argv[1];
$out = $argv[2];
$unix_data = file_get_contents($in); //Read the file
$win32_data = preg_replace("#\n#", "\r\n", $unix_data); //Turn linebreaks into carriage returns
$handle = fopen($out, 'w'); //Create new file for writing
if (fwrite($handle, $win32_data)) { //Write the data to the new file
echo "\n$out created as Win32 compatible file successfully!\n";
} else {
echo "\nThere has been a problem writing data to $out...\n";
}
fclose($handle); //Close the file
?>
chmod +x unix2dos
./unix2dos oldfilename.txt newfilename.txt
and voila! A dos compatible file

x-tile
X-TILE(1) General Commands Manual X-TILE(1) NAME
x-tile - select windows and adjust their tiling SYNOPSIS
x-tile [option][rows][columns] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the x-tile command. x-tile is a program that allows tiling selected windows as desired. In addition of the predefined tilings, it allows user to create up to two user defined tilings to be applied later. It also provides a system tray icon for faster access to tiling menu. OPTIONS
This program doesn't follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). Instead, it uses case sen- sitive single letter options, followed by arguments when required. A summary of options is included below. w Open the x-tile main window without using the panel. z Undo the latest tiling operation. v Tile all opened windows vertically. h Tile all opened windows horizontally. u Tile all opened windows triangularly, top up. d Tile all opened windows triangularly, top down. l Tile all opened windows triangularly, top left. r Tile all opened windows triangularly, top right. q Tile all opened windows in a four square grid. g Tile all opened windows in a grid with the given rows and columns. 1 Apply user defined tiling #1 to all opened windows. 2 Apply user defined tiling #2 to all opened windows. i Invert the order of the latest tiling operation. m Maximize all opened windows. M Unmaximize all opened windows. c Close all opened windows. Any other Show a brief summary of options. AUTHORS
