linefeed

A transform stream which converts various line endings into simple newlines, conveniently emitting a single chunk per line.

Library usage

Convert Windows linefeeds to Unix:

var fixlines = require('linefeed');
fs.createReadStream("WINDWS~1.TXT").pipe(fixlines()).pipe(process.stdout);

Or vice versa:

var LineStream = require('linefeed'),
    converter = new LineStream({newline:"\r"});
fs.createReadStream("some_unix_file.txt").pipe(converter).pipe(process.stdout);

Or just grab the lines:

var LineStream = require('linefeed'),
    splitter = new LineStream({newline:"", objectMode:true});
fs.createReadStream("README.md").pipe(splitter).on('data', function (line) {
    console.log("Got a line:", line);
});

Besides the usual stream.Transform configuration, the only other option is {newline:string}. Set it to any desired newline separator, including the empty string (which is especially useful with an object mode transform).

CLI

There is also a minimal shell script you can pipe through if installed globally (or locally, if "./node_modules/.bin/" is in your path):

cat README.md | linefeed > README.unix_endings.txt
 

Currently no options can be provided.
