Wouldn't this also catch directories or special files with ^M in them?
I'd add a -type f to find to avoid errors while trying to write to
a directory:
$ find . -type f | while read fname ;do
if grep '^M' ${fname} /dev/null 21 ;then
sed -i '' -e 's/^M//g' ${fname}

Yes. You're right, of course :-)

Very good! Thank you all!
So in conclusion, does this sh script look good?
I mean, can the first 3 commands be put like that?
$ chown -R fafa:wheel *
$ find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
$ find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
$ find . -type f | while read file ; do
if grep '^M' ${file} /dev/null 21 ; then
sed -i '' -e 's/^M//g' ${file}
fi
done
Forever grateful! That's me.

Yes. That looks fine.
You may want to quote those {} characters. Some shells may interpret
them. Compare, for instance, the output of the following two commands
in tcsh:
% echo {a,b,c}
% echo '{a,b,c}'

Re: On removing ^M
On Sun, 08 May 2005 12:53:06 -0700 tr -d \r input-file output-file Or: perl -pi -e 's/\015//' *.c which will edit all .c files in place, or: perl -pi.bak -e's/\015//' *.c (I forget to add a for or foreach line!) If there is a large number of files (i.e. if the command is too long - error: Argument list too long) try something like: find -X . -type f -print | xargs -L 1 perl -pi.bak -e's/\015//' Don't forget to do a backup copy of your original files! If filenames should be protected (enclosed in or '' ) the -X find option complains and skip them. -- regisr ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No tool is needed, as long as you have FreebSD's shell, sed grep:
$ find . | while read fname ;do
if grep '^M' ${fname} /dev/null 21 ;then
sed -i '' -e 's/^M//g' ${fname}
