    I’m sure there are more memory-efficient ways, but this might do the job for you:

    NSStringEncoding usedEncoding;
NSMutableString *fileContents = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:pathToFile usedEncoding:&usedEncoding error:nil];

// Normally you'd pass in an error and do the checking thing.

[fileContents replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\n" withString:@"\r\n" options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [fileContents length])];
// The other direction: [fileContents replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\r\n" withString:@"\n" options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [fileContents length])];

// Assumes you want to overwrite the file; again, normally you'd check for errors and such.
[fileContents writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES encoding:usedEncoding error:nil];
[fileContents release];

    pathToFile is obviously the path to the file; substitute the initWithContentsOfURL:.../writeToURL:... versions if you prefer.
