Re: Detecting *CRLF vs. *LF

#!/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash
TARGET_FILE=$1
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/grep $'\n' $TARGET_FILE >/dev/null
if [ "$?" == 0 ] ; then echo "contains lf"; else echo "contains no lf"; fi
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/grep $'\r' $TARGET_FILE >/dev/null
if [ "$?" == 0 ] ; then echo "contains cr"; else echo "contains no cr"; fi

I'm looking for an easy way to determine if a .csv file in the IFS is

want the delimiter type returned to the program. TIA.
