Dos2Unix task

Converts newline characters of a file or a set of files from CRLF (DOS format) to CR (UNIX format). The conversion is done in binary so that it also works on files of different encoding.

This task forms an implicit fileset that supports all attributes of fileset as well as nested include, exclude and patternset elements.
Note: This task does not determine whether a file is binary before conversion. It is up to the user to exclude binary files from the conversion.

<dos2unix file="README.txt" />
The following example converts all files of the HTML extension in the ${source.dir}/doc directory to UNIX newline format with verbose output.
<dos2unix dir="${source.dir}/doc" verbose="true">
