If the character we just got is a line feed, it checks to see if the last character received was a carriage return. If it wasn't, then we are dealing with a file with just line feed as the end of line marker so we change it to a carriage return and write it to the new file. If the character we just got is a line feed and the last character received was a carriage return, then we are dealing with a file with CR/LF as the end of line marker. In this case we simply ignore the line feed (meaning we don't write it to the new file) and continue copying the file with the character after the line feed. Please note that I have not actually tested this program. I simply typed it in using my news reader. If I get the chance I will test it but if anyone tries to use it and it doesn't work, please let me know. By the way, both this program and the COPYMOST that I posted a while back are both public domain. Let's call this one EOLCONVERT. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jeff Blakeney - Dean of the Apple II University in A2Pro on Delphi | | Delphi Apple II Forums Web Pages | | A2: http://www.delphi.com/apple2 A2Pro: http://www.delphi.com/a2pro | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
