DOS line endings

[thatbruce]

Do we have a simple, straightforward way to fix files with the abominable DOS line endings? In other words, to get rid of the "\r" characters.

Amazing after all these years that I have never had to cope with this before...

I know that there are bash ways of doing it, but
"dos2unix" is not ubiquitous.
the "sed" way is witchcraft (IMPO)
cat <file> | tr -d '\r' is the most elegant but looks terrible in File.Load(Shell(cat <file> | tr -d '\r'>temp$ ( ... blah blah blah

To put it simply, if I load the file all the "\r" characters remain and screw up my parsing of the file. I just want to make them "go away with extreme prejudice".

Ehmmm... what if you used the native Gambas function Replace() ?

Yep , I'm with Vuott on this

sNoCR = Replace(File.Load(sDosFileName), "\r", "")

Probably because I didn't think of it.
Thanks guys.
