tr -d '\015' < pc.file should do the trick. Be careful not to redirect that ouput back onto your input file, though, you have to put that to a temp file first. (if you tried to do > pc.file the file would be clobbered when the output stream opened it for writing). While we're on the subject, and in case it ever comes up, a mac file can be converted with tr '\015' '\012' < mac.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 winDOS uses CRLF.
