Cygwin help needed! for copying shellscripts
Hello,
this is not exactly a unix specific question however i am sure someone out there may answer my question. The problem is that i write shellscripts and now i want to convert all these shellscripts to .txt. Is it possible?
or if someone knows how to copy the content of shellscript then also tell me? I went into my home directory in cygwin folder but there if i try to open any shellscript file it opens in notepad in binary format. :-/ so how to convert it into ASCII?

Can't confirm that. Just created a file with some text in it with vim on cygwin and opened it with notepad - looked fine.

They probably are ASCII, just not Windows. Notepad needs a carriage-return and a linefeed at the end of each line, where UNIX only needs a linefeed. Just open them up in wordpad, it'll understand them.
