you sure about that? it looks to me like erics solutions will do every
file in the directory. its piping the output from the ls command into
gawk, which strips the carriage return then redirects its output into
a temp file. it then renames the temp file to the original file.
i might recommend tho, that you rename the temp file as the original
file into a different directory. just in case.(you dont really need to
tho. if your arent paranoid)
if you make sure that you have only text files(ie source code) in the
directory you run this is, it should work fine.
i dont have much experience with awk however, so you may be right. in
which case, i apologize. but this is cool. i guess i'll have to do some
playing around with it.
