Line Endings Converter

This utility is designed to convert line endings in text files between Windows-style (CRLF) and Unix-style (LF). It is useful for ensuring consistent line endings in a cross-platform development environment.

Features

• Convert all text files in a directory and its subdirectories from DOS to Unix line endings and vice versa.
• Automatically skips binary files based on file extension.
• Command-line interface for easy integration with scripts.

Requirements

• .NET 10.0 SDK or higher

Installation

Clone the repository or download the source code:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/line-endings-converter.git
cd line-endings-converter

dotnet build

Convert from DOS to Unix line endings

dotnet run -- D2U /path/to/your/files

Convert from Unix to DOS line endings

dotnet run -- U2D /path/to/your/files

Parameters

• D2U: Convert from DOS (CRLF) to Unix (LF) line endings.
• U2D: Convert from Unix (LF) to DOS (CRLF) line endings.
• FullPathToFiles: The full path to the directory containing the files to convert.

Known Limitations

• The program identifies binary files based on their extensions. If a binary file does not have a recognized extension, it may be incorrectly processed as a text file.
• The program does not handle files without read or write permissions.
