He's trying to remove the octal '\015' or '\r' newline terminator. BUT the tr -d 'r' command removes the ascii character 'r' as in octal '\162'. Little mistake.. I guess. This could disrupt potentialy the encode file. references: man ascii B.T.W. tr -d '\015' works also als a DOS to UNIX newline converter. I have it as a handy alias in my .bashrc. alias nodos="tr -d '\015'" nodos < my_msdos_newline.txt > my_unix_newline.txt J. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
