Cure:
Make this script on linux box, call it strip-dos, and run it
make it executable first
~#chmod 700 strip-dos
~#./strip-dos file-name
Creates a file called file-name.stripped so it doesn't mess with the
origional. The magic is in the last line, if you want to type command each
time just run that command.
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
echo "Usage: strip-dos <file-name>"
exit
fi
#tr '\015' '\012' < $1 > $1.stripped
tr '\015' ' ' < $1 > $1.stripped
OR
Use an editor that can save unix format files. A search of tucows should
turn up a candidate. Homesite editor will save as DOS, Unix or Mac.
Cheers
