How do I convert Unix Line Termination to Windows?

I am using Gedit and I save my script outputs as .txt so I could open it on Windows using Notepad but the problem is that Gedit does not use the same line termination as Notepad in Windows. I tried doing this:

sudo apt-get install dos2unix

but it does not yield any effect on my text files. I also cannot do the process where you save the file with the Windows option for the Line Ending because the text files are auto generated.

I hope you guys can help me. Thank you so much!

Additional detail: I have installed Notepad++ using WINE but I cannot make Notepad++ as the default program because it is installed using WINE.

Solution

  • You need to install unix2dos :

    sudo apt-get install unix2dos

    And then convert your saved files in linux:

    unix2dos text.txt
