In the new version(5.7) of NotePad++, the convert to UNIX format function is missing in its usual menu link which is
Encoding --> Convert to UNIX
For those doing shell scripting and related things, this is very important. The convertion of CRLF to LF is a pain and NotePad++ is a saviour(ok, other text editors can do that, too). So fret not, fretful folks, they just moved. It is now in the menu link below.
Edit --> EOL Conversion --> UNIX (or Windows or MAC)
Here’s the screenshots in case it isn’t clear yet.
As to why it was moved there is beyond me in terms of usability. But it’s a free software so we can just sigh.
Here’s the source of information

Thanks!
brilliant, thanks!! Panicked there for a sec
thank u very much, that’s really useful, I thought where did that go away to,
since my server only support UNIX format, all Dos/Windows format scripts will just display error when uploaded.
Thanks!! For the life of me I could not figure why it might have disappeared a quick look through the help was no help. Perhaps if I RTFM I’d have found it
Good piece of useful information, good URLs, will keep your blog in bookmarks. Thanks.
Thanks, saved me time on search and replace.
