Line terminator in file

[Kudret Serin]

Hi,
How can I understand which line terminator (windows or linux) used in file without reading file line by line?

I need something like this but in java:

(linux file utility)
jeremyt@jeremyt-lt:~/Documents> file test-win.txt
test-win.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
jeremyt@jeremyt-lt:~/Documents> file test-mac.txt
test-mac.txt: ASCII text, with CR line terminators
jeremyt@jeremyt-lt:~/Documents> file test-unix.txt
test-unix.txt: ASCII text

I'm not sure why you don't want to read the file line by line, but I'd read it character by character and count both newlines and carriage returns. The ratio of both would be an indication which file is which.

Or you could use something like Ant's <crlf> task that converts the file to whichever line ending you prefer.

Thanks for the reply.

How can I get the result, if I run the file command with Runtime.exec()?

I'd start by reading this article about the care and feeding of Runtime.exe.
