I tried the following command; cat myfile.txt | tr '\014' '\015\012' > myfile.out but this didnt seem to do anything. I was thinking that I need to replace a single character with another single character, not multiple characters

I have a text file with the '\f' character that I need to replace with the characters '\r\n'. I have tried the 'TR' command but that failed. Can anybody please advise how I do this?

Thanks Annihilannic, adding the "eval" command as per your suggestion has resolved my problem nicely. The file I was trying to PUT was copied successfully [thumbsup]

I tried many solutions which didnt give me the desired effect. I eventually went with the following; tr '\014' '\012' Seemed to work for me Thanks to those who responded [smile]

That did work, but not quite how I expected. I need another blank line. I'd therefore need something like ; tr '\014' '\012\012' Obviously, I can't do that because there's a mismatch of number of characters. Is there any other method of doing this? Is it possible using 'sed'?

Hi, I have a need to replace a FF character (Form Feed) in a printer spool file with a CRLF (Carriage Return & Line Feed). I previously replaced the FF character with a blank character using the TR command (e.g: tr '\014' ' '), but I now need to insert a blank line too. Can anybody help please?
