god, i love unix. i was looking for a little converter to change the mac line endings to unix line endings (or else when i pico something it comes out as one giant line with a bunch of ^Ms). i found how to make tr make the conversion and made a tiny shell script:
tr '\r' '\n' <$1 >$1.unix
and now i can work my juju on any file: "mac2unix Bookmarks.html", for instance. :) i might fiddle with it after i'm sure changing the line endings won't kill it in other programs, so that i then don't have to manually "mv Bookmarks.html.unix Bookmarks.html".
now, if i could just figure out how to make ^o work on a remote connection....
