eradicate CRs and truly enforce LF in files?

[FrankS]

I've been bitten a number of times by apps that choke on CRs and other
apps that sneak in those CRs.

BBEdit seems to do the right thing and uses LF by default.

However, BBEdit happily opens files where CRs are used and doesn't
seem to mind those CRs and keeps them in the file even if you edit and
save it while displaying in the bottom of the window that LF is used
for the file.

In other words, BBEdit doesn't seem to tell you when a file has CRs,
and I can find BBEdit command thats shows whether a file does have
those CRs, and no way to replace/eradicate them.

Am I missing some hidden feature somewhere?
(can't believe that I am the first and only one facing this issue)

Thanks, Frank.

Howdy,

If you look at the Status Bar at the bottom of the document window one of the popup menus shows the line endin used by that file and you can change it via that popup menu too.

Good Luck,

Text -> Normalize Line Endings should do the job.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
