handy little shell script i found a while ago which does exactly what you're after #!/bin/sh # rmc.sh # remove ^M characters # # slee 021116 # http://freebsd.mu if [ $# -eq 1 ] then tr -d '\015' < $1 > $1.tmp.$$ mv -f $1.tmp.$$ $1 else echo "Usage: $0 filename" fi Just place within /usr/local/bin and do 'chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rmc.sh' then just do 'rmc.sh file' as and when you need.
