I have a text file. How do I search and replace "carriage return"?
That is a horrible one to solve :-)
All the usual tools (grep, sed, tr) are line oriented so they will take
one line and replace the CR at the end with something else plus a CR!
No they won't. EOL in Unix is linefeed. CR is treated as a normal
character by grep sed tr and so on.

I solve it by converting text doc to unix format:
dos2unix 1_5.txt
and running this command:
cat 1_5.txt | tr '\r\n' '\ ' > 1_52.txt
