Subject: awk / sed - trouble with CR character
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 17:12:22 -0400
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

I have a binary file, with 8 lines of ascii at the top, and then a binary
line

The binary line contains the 0x0d.

E.g.

$ od -tx1 a
0000000 31 0a 32 0a 33 0a 34 0a 35 0a 36 0a 37 0a 38 0a
0000020 31 32 33 0d 0a 39 39 39 0a 34 35 36 0a
0000035

$ cat a
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
123
999
456

If I try to to use sed to eliminate the first 8 lines (or awk)

then the CR character is dropped

e.g.

sed '1,8d' a | od -tx1 yields:

$ sed  '1,8d' a|od -tx1
0000000 31 32 33 0a 39 39 39 0a 34 35 36 0a
0000014

Is there a way to make this work in Cygwin.

This works fine under Sco unix.

I have installed Cygwin in 'Unix' mode, so I'm not sure what is going on.

Thanks for any help.
