Re: Inconsistent format of our xml files - some DOS and some UNIX

That's odd - did you do the hex dump on cvs checked out files?  I'm just 
wondering whether your cygwin client removes the CRs (i.e. does dos2unix) 
so this isn't a problem if you're editing on unix?

Here's wsenum.xml (downloaded direct from web - no cvs processing applied) 
viewed in Notepad++.   It's got UNIX format and contains only LF 
characters at the end of each line:



Here's wst.xml  which is in DOS/Windows format and has the CR-LF 
combination of characters at the end of each line:




Thanks

Re: Inconsistent format of our xml files - some DOS and some UNIX




I'm a bit confused.  When I do a hex dump of T and RT I only see 0A's at 
the end of each line. 
Is it possible for your cvs to not touch the CR/LF at all? 
I'm using cygwin cvs and am not sure if it applies any kind of conversion 
- I don't see any option that mentions it - but I'm assuming that since 
I've touched all 5 files w/o seeing extra lines added that it probably 
doesn't do the conversion.    So, if we do need to choose one format I'm 
not sure it matters to me since I don't think I'll need to do anything - 
my editor (vi) doesn't add CRs. 

thanks
-Doug

Inconsistent format of our xml files - some DOS and some UNIX









I've done some investigation regarding the extra lines that are appearing 
in the files and it looks like there is in inconsistency with respect to 
the format in which they are checked into CVS.  I'm using notepad++  
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php in order to view the 
files as this allows you to see the CR and LFs and also allows you to see 
the format (MAC, UNIX, DOS). 

Here's what I found (looking at the .xml files): 

- WS-RT, WS-Enum, WS-Mex have [LF] at the end of each line - UNIX format 
- WS-T and WS-Eventing have [CR] [LF] at the end of each line - DOS format 


There is an option to 'default to DOS' when checking out using TortoiseCVS 
which I have set currently.  So, when I check out, this adds a [CR] at the 
end of each line.  Result is: 

- WS-RT, WS-Enum, WS-Mex have [CR] [LF] at the end of each line - DOS 
format  - i.e. correct for NT 
- WS-T and WS-Eventing have [CR] [CR] [LF] at the end of each line - MAC 
format  - i.e. not good - extra lines inserted. 

I could fix this by switching my CVS preferences depending on the file ... 
but it's not a nice solution and I assume that this problem effects others 
working on NT.   

Please could we agree on a file format (unix or dos) and apply this 
consistently across all of the 5 xml files?  I'm happy to convert the 
files that need changing (notepad++ will do it automatically) and re-check 
in. 

What do folks think? 
Thanks
Katy
