I have run Cygwin setup and chosen "DOS" line endings.
Well, I use binary mode mounts but have some textmode mounts for
testing.
When I create a text file with DOS line endings (CRLF):
This is a text file created with Notepad.
It has DOS (CRLF) line endings.
Look at it with (unxutils) "od":
<CVSENV>dpchrist@p42800e:~$ dump textfile.txt
000000 T h i s i s a t e x t f
000010 i l e c r e a t e d w i t h
000020 N o t e p a d . \r \n I t h a
000030 s D O S ( C R L F ) l i n
000040 e e n d i n g s . \r \n
00004c
Run it through Cygwin "expand":
<CVSENV>dpchrist@p42800e:~$ expand textfile.txt > textfile.out
And look at the output using (unxutils) "od":
<CVSENV>dpchrist@p42800e:~$ dump textfile.out
000000 T h i s i s a t e x t f
000010 i l e c r e a t e d w i t h
000020 N o t e p a d . \n I t h a s
000030 D O S ( C R L F ) l i n e
000040 e n d i n g s . \n
00004a
Note that the line endings have been changed to Unix ("\n").
I took the textfile from the attachment which has actually two \r\n at
the end which are 78 bytes at all:
$ expand textfile.txt
This is a text file created with Notepad.
It has DOS (CRLF) line endings.
$ od -Ad -tc textfile.txt
0000000 T h i s i s a t e x t f
0000016 i l e c r e a t e d w i t h
0000032 N o t e p a d . \r \n I t h a
0000048 s D O S ( C R L F ) l i n
0000064 e e n d i n g s . \r \n \r \n
0000078
This is on a textmode mount and I see the same on a binmode mount.
It seems that you have updated Cygwin to 1.5.12, but you have not
updated fileutils/sh-utils/textutils, please install coreutils to
replace all these three packages.
