doops. I meant to put the FILE=$1 inside the while loop.
So this should work. (Like you don't have enough solutions already :-) )
=================================
#! /bin/bash
LOOP_TIMES=$#
LOOP=1
TMPFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/tmp.XXXXX)
if [ $? != 0 ] then
echo "Couldn't get temp file" exit 1
fi
while [ $LOOP -le $LOOP_TIMES ]; do
FILE=$1
cat $FILE | tr "\r" "\n" > $TMPFILE
mv $TMPFILE $FILE
shift
LOOP=$[ LOOP + 1 ]
done
============end=================
have fun,
greg
