java - How to convert files from Dos to Unix

Question

I am having several files which I want to convert from Dos to Unix. Is there any API or method which will help me to do this?

Answer 1

There are linux tools that can do this (dos2unix for example).

In Java it can be done with String.replaceAll().

DOS uses for line termination, while UNIX uses a single .

String unixText = windowsText.replaceAll("
", "
"); // DOS2UNIX

So no, no API exists. Yes, it is dead easy.
