G'day,

I use textpad for changing large unix files to pc format.
Is there away of automating this process for when I have multiple files to change?

On another note: can textpad be "poked" by visual basic 6 to open and save the open file with format PC?

Thanks

Brendan

if all you want to do is change the line endings, there are tools for that - usually called unix2dos (or dos2unix for the reverse conversion) or similar ...


Btw, if the unix-style files come from a ftp server, you could use text mode for transfering them, which will do the conversion (while binary mode does not).

Thanks Mudgard.

The transfering with text mode may work but the files are zipped prior to me getting access to them.

Thanks for the input
