	fgetl() on Windows by AlexG1 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello, I'm having some trouble using the fgetl() function on a Windows system. Every line in a Windows file ends with <cr><lf>. While fgetl() ignores the <lf> character it doesn't ignore <cr> (unlike the Matlab version of the same function), which can be problematic in some cases (e.g. when I'm reading a file path and then try to use fopen() on it - I get fid = -1). Is there a function which ignores <cr> completely, or should I shorten every line that is read by 1 character? Thanks, Alex

What version of Octave? As I recall, this problem was fixed some time ago. It seems to work correctly for me wiht 3.0.5 on a Debian system reading files with CRLF line endings. jwe _______________________________________________ Help-octave mailing list Help-octave@... https://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/mailman/listinfo/help-octave

If you know anyone with a Linux or Unix system they will have the proper function and can easily do it for you. Also there is a complementary function: unix2dos which adds the <cr> and linefeed to the end of every line.

Letting someone do it manually for every file isn't practical since this script might be used quite often and not only by myself. For now I solved the problem by using strtrim() on the string returned by fgetl(), apparently it removes the <cr> tag.
	Re: fgetl() on Windows by Bobatapl :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Alex, Here is a GPL version of dos2unix/unix2dos that will run on Windows. You can call this from inside your octave script with the 'system' function in octave. I think this will do what you need. http://users.erols.com/dnagle/pub/d2u.c Bob On Mon, 11 May 2009, Bob Odom wrote: > Hi Alex, > > You can get rid of the <cr> at the end of the line using: > > dos2unix file.in file.out > > If you don't have access to a Unix or Linux system, there may be a > Windows version of that function.

Have a look at the mingw32/bin subdirectory. You can also get them sperately from the mingw download page at sourceforge.
