dos2unix: 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)

Value

No return value, called for side effects.

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.
