Convert

Use this dialog box to change the character encoding or convert the end-of-line (EOL) characters of selected files.

Dialog Box Options

Convert files

Use file masks to specify which files should be converted.

Change Coding

Select the current and required character encoding of the converted files.

Change end of line (EOL) characters

Allows you to change end-of-line (EOL) characters in the selected files. CR, LF and the CR/LF pair are all recognized as line ends in the source file, and each line end is replaced by the selected one:

• No change: line ends are left as they are.
• CR/LF (MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2): line ends become the CR/LF pair.
• LF (UNIX): line ends become a single LF character.
• CR (MAC): line ends become a single CR character.

If you select No change, you must choose a coding conversion with the Convert button; otherwise there is nothing to do and Sally reports an error.

Include subdirectories

When checked, the operation includes files contained within the selected directories.
