Inserting ctrl characters into documents.
Submitted by macbsd on Monday, 1 November, 2004 - 20:27
I have a unix shell script, and I need to insert a (ascii 13) into a sed script. I can insert the ^M via some other editor, but if I open the script in jEdit, then it gets ripped out when the file gets saved.

It's like jEdit is doing a dos-to-unix conversion on every save, ripping out all characters on every save. I would expect that if the file type was set to unix, then the "Enter" key would just generate characters, but not modify the rest of the file.

Thanks,

A workaround

OK, I couldn't solve the problem of jEdit wiping out my embedded character in a unix script, but I did come up with a workaround.

I put the following line in which generates a on the fly.

CR="`echo | tr '\012' '\015'`"

This echo's a blank line followed by an , then translates the linefeed (12 oct) to a CR (15 oct), and puts it into the variable CR.
