Re: Stupid Question: Striping Dos ^M From Texts

["Cameron L. Spitzer" <cls@barbaloot.ops.3com.com>]

  tr -d '\r' < dosfile > unixfile

removes all ^Ms, even if they are not at the end of the line
where MSDOS seems to put them.  tr(1) is small and fast.

  perl -p -i.bak -e 's/\r$//;' dosfile

renames the dosfile dosfile.bak and writes the corrected
output in dosfile.  The $ "anchors" the search pattern to 
the end of the line.  Omit the "-i.bak" if you don't want
to save the old file.
