Here's a perl version of dos2unix that I wrote for a similar purpose.
if you save it as dos2unix, you'd type
dos2unix < file_to_process > file_processed.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while ($linein = <STDIN>) {
$linein =~ s/[\r]//g;
print "$linein";
}
Note that it expects perl in /usr/bin. If you have it somewhere else,
make sure to modify the first line accordingly.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: carriage return
Hi,
As many of you suggested to use sed to
get rid of carriage return ;
sed -e "s/\r/\n/g" your_file_name >
your_temp_file_name
But, this removes all occurances of r .
If i use
sed -e "s/\\r/\\n/g" your_file_name >
your_temp_file_name
It does the same thing.
Also, in vi when I say set list it shows only a $
at the end.
Pl. reply soon.
Thanks a lot.
