--- name: "cr" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "seesat5" version: "0.90.10-1.1" release: "Debian 7 (Wheezy)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/cr" --- # cr(1) converts text files between nix EOL and dos EOL ## NAME cr - converts text files between nix EOL and dos EOL ## SYNOPSIS **cr** - \| + \ \ ## DESCRIPTION Text files, such as tle files, that come from a dos source usualy have the ^M symbol at the end of every line. Cr converts files between the dos newline format and the normal \*nix newline format by stripping the ^M to convert dos to \*nix, using the '-' option, or adding ^M to a \*nix file to create the proper dos file when the '+' option is used. Although this extra character is not often a problem, programs like seesat5, which are data driven will encounter parsing problems when the extra character is present. It is these problems that cr is intended to repair. ### Options - **- \| +** **One or the other of these options is required. The '-' option is used to** **remove ^M from all newlines found in the dos file. The '+' option is used to** **add ^M to every newline found in a \*nix file.** - **input file** **Fully delineated path to the input file. As this program is used in the dos** **environment as well, standard input is not used.** - **output file** **Fully delineated path to the output file. As this program is used in the dos** **environment as well, standart output is not used.** ## SEE ALSO **[seesat5(1)](/seesat5/1.md), [seesat5(7)](/seesat5/7.md), [SEESAT5.INI(5)](/SEESAT5.INI/5.md), [tle(5)](/tle/5.md)** ## BUGS **Cr is not an inteligent program. It methodicaly replaces/removes the** **offending character when it finds it in the correct context. Newline** **sequences found in contexts other than 'newline' will be replaced/removed** **just like those found in the proper context. Passing a binary file** **through cr is not advised, for this reason. Send all inqueries to Dale** **Scheetz \.**
