sed -E 's,[ ^M]*$,,' < in > out Note the ^M is a single control-character (entered via Ctrl-V Ctrl-M at a shell prompt for example). sed does not parse backslash-escapes except for \n which represents a newline. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
