No. But remember that the carriage control is always the first character of the record. So you can do a simple post process such as: perl -np -i.bak -e 's/^.(.*)/$1/' downloaded.file to remove the first column. I like this because the result is the original file renamed to have a .bak on the end and the changed file back into the original name. An alternate might be: cut -b 2- <downloaded.file >downloaded.file.new mv downloaded.file downloaded.file.bak mv downloaded.file.new downloaded.file if you don't want the backup in the second example, just don't bother with the first mv command. The second mv will then removed the "downloaded.file" before renaming "downloaded.file.new" to "downloaded.file". There is likely an equivalent way in other languages as well. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
