How to replace Windows linefeed with Linux linefeed

avatar
Explorer

How can I use ReplaceText processor to function like dos2unix command, i.e. change \r\n to \n

My file comes in with ^M at the end of each line

In the ReplaceText process, I have a Search Value of \r\n

That is correctly finding the Windows linefeeds

However, for Replacement value, I have tried \n also $1\n

 

They each put the character n where I want the line feed to be.

Thanks!

In the "Replacement value" configuration property just hold the <shift> key and hit enter instead of using "\n".
Here is example of what you would see:

This will create the line return you are looking for.

 

Hope this helps,
