How to toggle CR/LF in gnu screen?

I'm using screen to read the text from a serial console. The problem is the output seems to only have newline \n but not carriage return \r, so the display looks like this...

Line1
     Line2
          Line3

I wonder if there is any patch to fix this issue?

Solution

  • Try stty onlcr.

    The man page says it will translate newlines to carriage return / newline pairs on output, which seems to be what you need.
