Use file masks to specify which files should be converted.

Change Coding

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.
