dos2unix: Convert Line Endings

In ices-tools-prod/TAF: Transparent Assessment Framework for Reproducible Research

Convert Line Endings

Description

Convert line endings in a text file between Dos (CRLF) and Unix (LF) format.

Usage

dos2unix(file, force = FALSE)

unix2dos(file, force = FALSE)

Arguments

file	a filename.
force	whether to proceed with the conversion when the file is not a standard text file.

Details

The default value of force = FALSE is a safety feature that can avoid corrupting files that are not standard text files, such as binary files. A standard text file is one that can be read using readLines without producing warnings.

Value

No return value, called for side effects.
