Hi

We have a Windows client saving text files into an RTC server, then use the cmdline (scm) to extract the files from the server on to a Unix/Linux box. The files retain the CR/LF settings for Windows. Is there any way to force them to be converted to Unix CR/LF settings when the files are pulled down to the Unix/Linux box? I believe the files are not going to be changed on the Unix/Linux side.

thanks

anthony

Hi Anthony

There is a section in the RTC online help talking about "Specifying file properties and line delimiter types" , I am wondering if you have seen it and if that helps.

Follow the link on a browser on a machine that has RTC installed: http://127.0.0.1:59550/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.scm.doc/topics/t_scm_eclipse_file_properties.html

Cheers,

Hamid

Hi Anthony,
I just had a similar problem where I was creating scripts in the client on windows, and then trying to execute those scripts in the build on a linux machine. I got around it by running this ant task:

<fixcrlf>

I also needed add execution permissions:

<chmod>

I couldn't find a way to do these operations in RTC but would be interested to hear if it is possible.

Regards, Alex.

Thanks Alex. If I find any other ways - I will let you know...

I think you're looking for this:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v1r0m1/index.jsp.

I assume if the file is a text file and the delimiter property indicates
"platform", the line ends will be set correctly based on the paltform
when the files are loaded into the local workspace.
