How to convert Windows end of line in Unix end of line (CR/LF to LF)

Question

I\'m a Java developer and I\'m using Ubuntu to develop. The project was created in Windows with Eclipse and it\'s using the Windows-1252 encoding.

To convert to UTF-8

Answer 1

Actually, vim does allow what you're looking for. Enter vim, and type the following commands:

:args **/*.java
:argdo set ff=unix | update | next

The first of these commands sets the argument list to every file matching **/*.java, which is all Java files, recursively. The second of these commands does the following to each file in the argument list, in turn:

• Sets the line-endings to Unix style (you already know this)
• Writes the file out iff it's been changed
• Proceeds to the next file
