print dos format file into unix format

[PengYu.UT]

Suppose I have a dos format text file. The following python code will
print ^M at the end. I'm wondering how to print it in unix format.

fh = open(options.filename)
for line in fh.readlines()
print line,

Thanks,
Peng

Open in "universal line ending" mode, strip the trailing new-line,
and don't use the comma on the print?

open(outfile, "wb").write(open(infile, "rb").read().replace("\r", ""))

Or something like that ...

Are you running this on Unix or on DOS?

On Unix, you can do:

for line in open(options.filename).readlines():
print line.rstrip()

Perhaps quicker is:

sys.stdout.write( open(options.filename).read().replace('\r\n','\n') )

Python ships with two utility scripts, crlf.py and lfcr.py, that
"Replace CRLF with LF in argument files" and "Replace LF with CRLF in
argument files", respectively.

Look in examples/Tools/scripts of your python dist.

Even if you don't want to use the scripts, you can read them for
insight.

Peace,

There are more differences between text files than that.
I don't know any unix systems that uses CP 437 etc. I'd
convert the text to unicode through .decode('cp437') etc,
and then print that. If things aren't set up so than
unicode object print correctly, use
..decode('cp437').encode('utf8') etc to get it to an
appropriate encoding.
