Need UNIX format even though using TextPad on a PC.

[nlw]

Is there a way to set Preferences so that all TextPad files will save as file format UNIX when using TextPad on a PC?

Or, is there away to globally change a set of TextPad files from PC file format to UNIX file format?

Thank you

You can define this in the documentclass.

As kindlerm points out, you can tell TextPad to save new files in Unix format, either all of them or just those in particular classes:
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | <Class> | Create new file as: UNIX.

There's no way to tell it to save all existing files in Unix format. But you can
File | Save Aas... | File Format: UNIX.

Alternatively, you can convert the files on the command line using such a utility as dos2unix.

You can download and try the other great product offered by Helios, WildEdit. It will convert files en masse from one format to another. I tried and it works.


Find what:
\x0d\x0a

Replace with:
\x0a

Be sure to check both Regular expression and Replacement format.
