Convert rn to n, can be Global Search & Replace

By MagNet WebPublishing

Version: 1.0

Type: Sample Code (HOWTO)

Category: Other

License: GNU General Public License

Description: This code fragment takes a linux path and searches for rn into the specified files. It would then replace rn with n.
The same logic could be extended to become a global search and replace as the code supports recusring into directories.

<?php
/*
////////////////////////////////////////
File : rnton.php
Description: Traverses through a specified
             directory and converts all
             occurances of rn to n,
             in the specified type of
             files.
Why? :       We developed this since after
             changing to the new version of
             PhpEditor, most of our files
             on the Linux machine were
             showing double line spacing :)
