Sim,
cat filename | sed 's/^M//g' > newfilename
Where ^M is ^V^M (Ctrl+vCtrl+m)
[means Insert Special Character ^M]
If you have a lot and they are the only files in the
directory:
for file in `/bin/ls -1` # Stays away from "ls aliases"
do
echo "Doing $file...."
cat $file | sed 's/^M//g' > $file.new
echo "Done with $file"
mv $file.new $file
done
Watch the "mv $file.new $file" !
Only use this line if you are sure this is what you want
as it "REPLACES" the Original file.
There are about a bzillion ways, but this one
is "off the cuff".
