Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I need to find new line characters in a file and their location in the file and print the results. can someone pleas help.

KM

try:

Code:

awk '{for (i=1; i<=length($0); i++) if (substr($0,i,1) ~ /\n/) print "Newline at character:",i}' RS= infile

Thank You.

How can i exclude the one which is at each end of the line.

Basically there are some end of the line characters in between the lines. So i just want to locate these end of the line characters which are in between the start and end of each line.

Thanks Again

Your question makes no sense.

By definition, every line ends with a newline character. So, there can't be a newline character in the middle of a line.

That's true for text files, and I think the requestor means text files, but you should also consider binary files.
Try

Code:

od -vw1 -tx1 -Ad file |grep 0a$
0000086 0a
0000181 0a
0000325 0a
0000484 0a
0000645 0a
