I don't think I've actually used cygwin, but if it's running on MS, does cygwin use Unix line end endings (\n) or MS line endings (\r\n) ?

I wish I could say that I knew what you meant, personally I've not typed either (\n) or (\r\n)I will have a google around the subject sometime soon to help me understand better...

thanks anyway

When text (aka ASCII or non-binary) are produced on Unix-like systems, there is an invisible end of line (aka newline or new record) marker, which (if you prog in eg C or Perl) is represented as '\n'.
On MS systems, the 'newline' is representd internally with \r\n instead, which is why you find utils like dos2unix to convert eg notepad output files to something Unix/Linux can handle.

ah! I think I see now well, at least a bit, that might explain why the script I wrote on my window$ system (in notepad) refuses to work on ubuntu, coincidentally enough at the end of the first line... hmmm...

I'll go and have a play with dos2unix and see if I can come up with something that works on ubuntu...

thanks for the hint

ok, I'm having problems getting dos2unix to run on my ubuntu, however, during my search, I ran into a little awk script that seems to (almost) make it work

Code:
awk '{ sub("\r$", ""); print }' winfile.txt > unixfile.txt
I ran that on my ubuntu, and although it doesn't fully work yet, the resulting script at least performs the job partially, and (oddly) gets to a different filename before going funky

Code:
tr -d '\r' < file.bak > file.txt
This command deletes \r from file.bak and saves the output to file.txt.
To test whether this problem is occuring in the original file do:
Code:
head -1 file.bak |od -c

Question hells teeth! what am I doing wrong now?

well, on and off, I've used this script for a while now, depending on how often I feel like putting more files on the server, it looks like apache now deals quite well with spaces, and thanks to some nice file renaming programs (thunar) and other things linuxy, I now have a much nicer file list.

when porting code from one windoze machine to linux (usually using ubuntu these days), I can open the wine version of notepad and cut and paste the text to a native linux files which takes care of the new record marker bit quite nicely

I don't remember altering the code, and the way I'm running it is just the same, so why would I start to get errors, I'm obviously doing something wrong, or I've forgotten how to use this the right way, could someone help me to remember how I do this please? ...

my code is this...
Code:
BEGIN{

print "<html>"

  print "<body>"

  print "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"../1.css\">"

  print "<center>"

  print "<ul>"

}

{

  print "<li><a href=\""gensub(/\.mp3/ , ".html" , g )"\" target=\"rhs\">"$0"</a>"

  # and the other files ... 

  target = gensub(/\.mp3/ , ".html" , g )

  print "<html>" > target

  print "<body>" > target

  print "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"../2.css\">" > target

  print "<center>" > target

  print "<a href=\"../music/"$0"\">"$0"</a>" > target

  print "</br>" > target

  print "</br>" > target

  print "<embed src=\""$0"\" autostart=\"true\">" > target

  print "</ul>" > target

  print "</center>" > target

  print "</body>" > target

  print "</html>" > target

  close( target )

}

END{

  print "</ul>"

  print "</center>"

  print "</body>"

  print "</html>"

}
and I run it thus...

Code:
c$ awk -f 1.awk list > index.html
awk: 1.awk: line 33: function gensub never defined
awk: 1.awk: line 33: function gensub never defined
gensub never defined??? It never seemed to bother with that line before!

And why tell me twice? am I really that bad that I need telling twice?

Clearly I am *hangs head in shame*

Help me sort this out please, it's got me stumped
