Thanks, John. The "tr" command seems to have worked. I don't have perl installed yet.
Jon <snip> However, if you want to remove all 0x0D characters, even those in the middle of a line, you can: tr -d '\015' <input.file >output.file.without.x0d If you have Perl installed, then this will do what I think you want: perl -n -i.bak -e 's/\015$//;print' input.file At the end of this program, input.file will have trailing 0x0d (015 octal) characters removed. The original file will be "input.file.bak". If you don't want a "backup" file, then: perl -n -i -e 's/\015$//;print' input.file will work. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
