"tr -d '\r' < dosfile > unixfile" will also do the trick for simple cases. I usually just load it up in an editor (emacs or vi) and delete the \r's using the normal "replace all strings matching" functionality. vi: :%s/.$// - which is a cop-out, since I can never remember how to put a literal \r in emacs: M-x replace-string RET C-q RET RET RET - ie: replace literal RET (C-q "quotes" the next key) with the empty string -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
