Batch format conversion from UNIX to DOS

Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me.

I'd like to copy a large number of files, located in several subdirectories, to another place, respecting the same subdirectories.
But the files should also be converted from a UNIX format to a DOS format during this copy.

Do you think that a macro could do that?

Thans a lot in advance
Stephane

Yes, a macro can do this. With my knowledge now I could write such a macro. Do you still need it?

But it is much easier without a macro. First copy all files. Then run a normal Replace In Files (not a regular expression) on the copied files with searching for ^n and replacing it with ^p.

If the directories with the copied files also contains already DOS files, then run the Replace In Files with Regular Expression checked with following search and replace strings:

UltraEdit style regular expression:

Find: ^([~^r]^)^n
Replace: ^1^p

Unix style regular expression:

Find: ([^\r])\n
Replace: \1\p
