Windows port; can I disable auto "\n" -> "\r\n" conversion?

ruby-talk

I’m using with the Pragmatic port of ruby (1.7.2), which appears to be
automatically converting my line-endings to CRLF. For example:

$ ruby -e ‘print “abc\n”’ | od -c
0000000 a b c \r \n
0000005

This is playing havoc with my source-code; running something like

$ ruby -i~ -ple ‘gsub(/XXXX/, “XXXX”)’ *.java

results in all my files being converted from Unix-text to Windoze-text
format!!

Is there some way I can disable the magic conversion of CR to CRLF?

cheers, Mike

STDOUT.binmode.

For oneliners, you can put following code into binmode.rb in
your RUBYLIB or site_ruby directory, and use -rbinmode option.

STDIN.binmode
STDOUT.binmode
STDERR.binmode

Once I’d suggested -b command line option and IO.binmode
accessor which control default open mode.

This is just what I was looking for, thanks.

I agree, a command-line switch would be useful.
