Assuming that you are on a *nix box you can open the file in ex and strip it example: I want to take all the ^M's out of a file.
root - local#ex somefile.ext 1,$s/.^M//g [enter] w [enter] of course you have to replace ^M with that crazy acii character. try cutting and pasting if you cant find the keystroke. yes it's not perl but it does what you want. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
