Hi
On the odd occasion I have stored scripts like smb.conf and crontab on a
Windows file system i.e. my notebook for transporting from one Linux machine
to another. This inevitably leads to corruption of the file. Characters
appear to get added to the end of each line and heaven knows where else.
Is there any way to "Clean" a file once it put back on my/any Linux system?
I have found that dragging the file from Linux PC to Linux PC over the
network helps but this seems extreme.
Many thanks
Mike
For text files, lines in Windows usually is terminated by CR-LF (0D 0A in Hex), however, usually lines in Linux terminated only by LF (0A in Hex). To remove the CR (carriage-return), you can use tr command (see man tr) Try this: tr -d '\015' < input_file > output_file this will delete all CRs (\015 in octal) in input_file.
