Convert CRLF to LF

[Ed Dyreen]

Doesn't retain blank lines on Windows 7.

In that case I've run out of ideas.

People running XP can use this code safely ( this is why it's important to update your OS innit )

People running 7 can use this code, but it has an 8k limit.

People running 7 can use Liviu's solution but that one corrupts if the file ends in linefeed/s.

Or just use any of the suggested executables.

Ed's last batch worked, but trying to strip it down to something simple is a bit of a mind bender.
I found this over here too, a simple batch after much scouring (tested on Win10):

Re-posting, because finding this was difficult, and everyone deals with getting the double lines, or line removal.

Code: Select all

::Syntax: batchfile "file.txt" >"file2.txt"

:init
for /f %%c in ('copy /z "%~dpnx0" nul') do set cr=%%c
(set lf=^

)
del file.tmp 2>nul
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('findstr /n "^" "%~1"') do (
set "line=%%i"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "line=!line:*:=!!lf!"
echo(!line!
endlocal
)>>file.tmp
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
findstr /v "!cr!!lf!" file.tmp
endlocal
del file.tmp 2>nul
