Re: Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts
Here's a sed script that I've used for years on my old SCO Unix box. I'm not actually positive it works on Linux because I haven't tried it, but sed is sed, right?... It adds ^M's if they're missing and deletes them if found. (i.e. one script that will do both conversions) sed -e ' s-^M--g t s+$+^M+ t ' < infile > outfile One caveat -- infile and outfile **can't** be the same.

Gee, it's amazing how many of these programs debian has! The sysutils package contains "fromdos" and "todos", which do what you'd probably expect with the carriage returns. "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" are alternate names for the same programs. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts
tr -d '\r' < dosfile > unixfile removes all ^Ms, even if they are not at the end of the line where MSDOS seems to put them. tr(1) is small and fast. perl -p -i.bak -e 's/\r$//;' dosfile renames the dosfile dosfile.bak and writes the corrected output in dosfile. The $ "anchors" the search pattern to the end of the line. Omit the "-i.bak" if you don't want to save the old file.

It seems simpler than installing a special utility. I expect perl or awk would also offer entertaining solutions!

Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts
Somewhere in the dank recesses of my mind, I recall a utility that would strip the extra ^M's from a text file copied to a unix box.
