$> tr "\r" "\n" < bad.pl > good.pl You can also combine them to do either/or. The first pair takes priority, but the second pair will pick up any left over carriage returns and turn them into extra line feeds. $> tr "\r\n" "\n" "\r" "\n" < bad.pl > good.pl > > (I reserve the right to be completely wrong) Sorry, you can't have that. It already belongs to me. B^) Bob McConnell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
