how to add Unix line breaks

Hi.

So, is it possible to use set-content (or something) to add Unix line breaks
to a text file?

the Community extentions contain a cmd-let called "ConvertTo-UnixLineEnding"

you can find the extentions here..

You could just use `n as in:

"hi`nthere" | Set-Content -Encoding ascii foo.txt

The problem is that both Set-Content and Out-File append a Windows newline
sequence e.g.:

8> fhex foo.txt -Columns 16

Address: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F ASCII
-------- ----------------------------------------------- ----------------
00000000 68 69 0A 74 68 65 72 65 0D 0A hi.there..

So processing the file to convert Windows newline sequences to \n (ie use
ConvertTo-UnixLineEnding) is probably the best way to go.
