sed problem
Hi All,
I am having a text file say xyz which I convert into a file such that all the lines in that xyz file should have a “ on both the side of each line and \r and \n
xyz which need to be converted:
=============================
*%EFILocal [pdl_postscript:postscript]
*%EFILocal [pdl_pcl:pcl]
*%EFILocal [pdl_pjl:pjl]
*%EFILocal [pdl_pdf:pdf]
*%EFILocal [pdl_passthru:passthru]
*%EFILocal [pdl_text:text]
================================
Converted file: say abc
============================
"*%EFILocal [pdl_postscript:postscript]\r\n"
"*%EFILocal [pdl_pcl:pcl]\r\n"
“\r\n”
"*%EFILocal [pdl_pjl:pjl]\r\n"
"*%EFILocal [pdl_pdf:pdf]\r\n"
"*%EFILocal [pdl_passthru:passthru]\r\n"
"*%EFILocal [pdl_text:text]\r\n"
“\r\n”
"*%EFILocal [pdl_tiff:tiff]\r\n"
"*%EFILocal [pdl_xwd:xwd]\r\n"
I use the sed utility and did the following:
cat xyz | sed -e 's/\(.*\)$/"\1\\r\\n"/' | tr -d "\r" > abc
But it is not helping for all the lines. For some lien it is working and for some line it is not working at all. For some line it is not feeding " in the begining of the line.
Regards
Gauri Agrawal

ASA(1) BSD General Commands Manual ASA(1)
NAME
asa -- interpret carriage-control characters
SYNOPSIS
asa [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The asa utility reads files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences, and writes them to
the standard output.
The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control character. The following characters are interpreted as follows:
<space> Output the rest of the line without change.
0 Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the line.
1 Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the line.
+ The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a <carriage-return> before printing the rest of the line.
Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they begin with <space>.
EXIT STATUS
The asa utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
To view a file containing the output of a FORTRAN program:
asa file
To format the output of a FORTRAN program and redirect it to a line-printer:
a.out | asa | lpr
SEE ALSO
f77(1)
STANDARDS
The asa utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
