<LF> versus <CR>/<LF>
Hello,

Can someone explain how to distinguish a LF character and a CR/LF character in a text file from a shell script.

Thanks

If you have GNU File installed, it will tell you in a nice human readable output.

Code:
$ file test.txt
test.txt: ASCII text
$ vi test.txt     # :set ff=dos
$ file test.txt
test.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
