mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
my dillemma is simple i have psion 5 mx wich is an epoc type machine not only does it only work on windows as far as I know but I have to convert the files (the usual stuff!) sometimes a humen error happens and the files that I want to transfer to the linux drive has a few files in rtf..I have found that they are useless on unix unless you change them to text format.. I(i use word pad)... . the problem is I am stuck with a dozen rtf files on my linux drive and rather than delete and ocnvert and mount again I would like to know if there is a way to convert the rtf files on the linux drive itself to reguler windows text mode.. which I still hav e to strip of control charcters as I read in one of your threads today..!
1) is it possible to convert rtf files on linux itself without the due hassles
2) when I strip the characters I use the sed command and the CL/M command to delete the carraige returns.. how can apply this!!!!!!!
and will it work
(i got the idea from one of your threads today so please be patient)
mount -t vfat ascii /dev/hda1 /mnt ... will this work and will it strip carraige returns..
thanx moxxx68..
ps .. I wish I could put in a little more input but I am not as advanced as most of the users although I try!
