Untrue.

Assuming that you are allowed to exec(): You should have copy-pasted; the
shell command is not the same. In essence, it is an awk(1) invocation
error: Unquoted `{' and `}' are for Brace Expansion in a POSIX-compatible
shell.

But you do not need a shell or awk(1) to accomplish what you want (although
dos2unix(1)/fromdos(1) is arguably faster than awk(1)), PHP has e.g.
fread(), preg_replace(), and fwrite().
