Open FILE Source (Text / Listing) in Windows from an Atari File

[Blues76]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to convert the following listing from Atari Roots https://www.atariarchives.org/roots/chapter_7.php, The first two in the chapter (maybe the only two) to use in in Eclipse editor compiling with MADS. I know I will have to make some changes.

 

My problem is adding the new line (CR) to the file. I could do it by hand, which I think I will do for now, or I could write a small program to do it. However, there has to be something easier. I searched the forum but I couldn't find how to do this.

 

I don't think the files were saved in Linux because Sublime will open them fine. However, sublime and other editors just see it as a one line. I'm using Windows right now.

 

Maybe they were saved as atari text files?

 

Thanks,

I think it has to be ATARI text. It seems to be ">" character as EOL (at least it seems when I pasted) into Eclipse. I could write a program to replace that, remove the line numbers and clean the file.

 

Before I do, if there is anything done, I would rather use that.

The value of the Atari newline character is 155 (or hex $9B) and so a simple way in a (decent) text editor is simple to select the character and 'copy' is and then paste it into the 'find' of the search/replace dialog and have it replaced with a CR/LF

As @DjayBee posted MemoPad is a fix for all line endings

 

Literally saved me many hours of typing (although I usually use Linux to to do any large cut/paste options)

Makes having a Raspberry Pi all the more worth while (also Cygwin64 is a good tool too)

A couple of one liners for any unix variant.

On Windows, I always install Cygwin to get these functions. I've never been able to get on with powershell.

 

With "tr":

tr '\233' '\n' < ~/Downloads/PRNTSC1.SRC

Equivalent in sed (the king of all line editors)

sed 's#\x9b#\n#g' < ~/Downloads/PRNTSC1.SRC

Great. I find using git-bash provides many of the functionalities (maybe not all of them) than Cygwin. I have used Cygwin.

 

That's great to know. I have a linux server at the university that I use and my mac (which is in my office right now). But it is great to have this for Windows as well, as I used it a lot.

 

Thanks
