This is one of the oldest irritations in computing. DOS ends lines with 0D 0A but linux and unix just use 0A. This script should fix you up if you have a modern sed: cat linux.script | sed 's/.*/&\x0D/' > dos.script If you have an older sed, this might work: cat linux.script | sed 's/.*/&\r/' > dos.script You can check this out with: od -a linux.script od -a dos.script Similar fixes can be done with awk, but I have forgotten how to use it. Going dos to linux is easier: cat dos.script | tr -d"\r" > linux.script I haven't tried running such converted scripts, so YMMV.
