I've never been able to figure out a portable way to mangle control chars with sed. Use tr is the standard advice, I think: echo '^M' | tr -d '\012' Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Yeah, but I never really trusted those programs, since (on Solaris at least) they always whinge about character sets or locales or something. And it seems my suspicion is not unwarranted: [mlh@localhost mlh]$ od -xc stuff 000 0a0d \r \n 002 [mlh@localhost mlh]$ cat stuff|dos2unix|od -xc 000 000a \n \0 001 What the hell is that null doing there? -- Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
