If you are going from DOS to Unix you could use the following perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $pcfile = shift || "/tmp/dosfile.txt" ;
my $outfile = shift || "/tmp/unixconverted.txt";
die "Cannot read $pcfile..." unless -r $pcfile;
open(IN, "$pcfile") or die "Cannot open $pcfile: $!";
open(OUT, ">$outfile") or die "Cannot open $outfile: $!";
$/ = "\r"; ## pc end of line, damn gates
while(<IN>) {
chomp;
print OUT "\n";
}
## should really check the close of these but...
close(IN);
close(OUT);
exit;
