I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0;
Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown
DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #56 from Vineet Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Troubled by DOS-FORMAT OR MAC-FORMAT TEXT FILES? Here's another
way to deal with those troublesome ^M characters: a simple
tr -d '\015' < dos.file > reg.file
should do the trick. While we're on the subject, a Mac file
can be converted with
tr '\015' '\012' < mac.file > reg.file
You can do all your CR/LF translations with tr as long as you
can remember that macs use CRs, *nices use LFs, and DOS uses
CR+LF.
