Here's a few different ways to do it, my favourite being the awk one.
http://www.vasudevaservice.com/documentation/how-to/converting_dos_and_unix_text_files
"""
To use awk to convert a DOS file to Unix, at the Unix prompt, enter
awk '{ sub("\r$", ""); print }' dosfile.txt > unixfile.txt
To convert a Unix file to DOS using awk, at the command line, enter
awk 'sub("$", "\r")' unixfile.txt > dosfile.txt
