Hello: Can anyone here recommend a good utility program for removing the CTRL + LF characters, i.e, the "^M" characters from the ends of lines in DOS text files?
If I should import a DOS text file into a directory in my BasicLinux OS, the CTRL + LF characters will appear at the end of every line when the file is viewed within Linux. This problem is not due to a bug in either of the operating systems involved. The problem is simply one of a minor compatibility issue of the two operating systems. I have seen some technical explanations for this phenomena on a URL somewhere. I would suppose there must exist some good work-arounds and other solutions to handle the problem. Does anyone here know of a simple way to deal with it? Sam Heywood -- This message sent by BasicLinux -- See http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ichi/baslinux.html
