If this is about line endings, surely a simple shell or python script could correct them?
There’s already a command for it:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/dos2unix
Does windows add an extra character at the end that gets converted to new line on linux? Because the other day I were copying a script and after pasting it an extra line was added after every single line, even the empty lines.
how it looked when I copied it:
what it turned into:
Windows uses CR LF (carriage return, line feed), whereas Unix just uses LF. For added fun, macs use CR.
This used to be true, for sure, but I thought this changed with OS X (which is essentially PrettyBSD) ?
You're right. Notepad++ still lists macs as using CR for their EOL conversion tool, so I didn't realize.
