Convert unix line endings to windows

I recently moved back to Windows from Linux. I have some files with CRLFs, some with LFs and some that are mixed. Is there a utility that will help me find all my Unix-touched files and convert them to proper CRLF terminated files?

EDIT: The utility must run on Windows, not Linux. I have already moved. I'd rather not install Cygwin if I can avoid it.

How can I edit Unicode text in Notepad++?

Sometimes I edit English text that includes Unicode characters. For some reason, on my PC, Notepad++ converts Unicode characters to ???'s thereby corrupting the text and losing all that data. I'm looking for a way to edit such text, while preserving Unicode characters. I'm using Consolas as my Font. If the font doesn't have all those characters, why should I lose the data when I copy the text out of Notepad++ (via Windows' clipboard)?

Can you edit the contents of an Excel cell without having to double click it?

I have a list of about 10,000 name/addresses that I have to manually cleanse in Excel (fun!). As you can imagine, having to double click to enter almost every cell to edit it is a drag. And it's frustrating that if you are even slightly near the top/bottom of the cell, you end up at the top/bottom of the worksheet!

Is there a way of telling Excel to stay in 'edit mode', so that when I click on a cell (or better yet, scroll down to it), it automatically allows me to edit the content? I can't just start typing, as that overwrite the whole cell, when often times I just need to edit 1 or 2 characters. Thanks.

How do you reuse a visual mode selection?

Often when editing code, I'll select a block in visual mode and do a search and replace over the block. After I make the changes, however, it leaves visual mode. How do you do a new find and replace over the same selection?

Converting CSV to fixed-width in Notepad++?

Is there a way in Notepad++ to convert a comma-separated file to fixed width columns?

This feature exists in UltraEdit and explained in Working with CSV files, but I am happy with my Notepad++, and I don't want to pay for a copy of UltraEdit.

Replace \r\n with newline in Notepad++

Turn Off Parenthesis Matching in Sublime Text 2

I have questions about turn off parenthesis matching. Does anyone know how to turn off parenthesis matching?

example:

When I type a (, it will automatically add ), becomes ().

It's pretty nice for editing plain text. But quite annoying while editing clojure files.

Edit one file in two different buffers in emacs

I would like to open the file foo.bar twice (or more) in emacs, so I can edit two different parts of it simultaneously. Is it possible? Probably the better question is, how to do it? Is there a way to open each instance in its own buffer/frame?

How to split large file on Windows?

Is there a tool to split large text file (9Gb) into smaller files so that I can open it and look through?

Anything usable from command line that comes with Windows (XP)?

Or what's the best way to split it? Can I use 7z to create separate volumes and then unzip one of them separately? Will it be readable or does it need all the other parts to unzip into the big file again?

Update

I put together quick 48 lines python script that split the large file into 0.5GB files which are easy to open even in vim. I've just needed to look through data towards the last part of the log (yes it is a log file). Each record is split across multiple lines so grep would not do.

How to paste Excel data as fixed-width text?

If I copy data in Excel and paste it in a text file, I get tabs between cells. That's not good, I want spaces - and I want the columns to be aligned. How can I achieve this without a lot of effort (obviously I don't want to start running regexps by hand etc.)

Using 'Save As' (as in this question) is not a solution for me, I need copying and pasting.
