Here's another way to deal with those troublesome ^M characters: a simple tr -d '\015' dos.file reg.file should do the trick. While we're on the subject, a Mac file can be converted with tr '\015' '\012' mac.file reg.file You can do all your CR/LF translations with tr as long as you can remember that macs use CRs, *nices use LFs, and DOS uses CR+LF.

[SOLVED] Re: Unix(LF) files to MSDOS(CRLF) and vice versa
How can I use rpl (or any other suitable command) to transform the \n character between Unix and Msdos formats ?? rpl seems to be the right tool, but I can't figure out how to specify that strings. Lots of good answers, let's not forget trusty old tr, it's feeling neglected. The key thing you need to know is the standard cr/lf sequence for text files: Mac ^M 013 0x0D\r Win ^M^J013 010 0x0D 0x0A \r \n 'nix ^J 010 0x0A\n PM Thanks !!
