I want to delete a <cntrl>+<M> from only the last line of a file, is there an easy sed statement for this?

To delete the last char of the last line:
sed '$s!.$!!' /path/to/input > output
To delete all ^M from the last line:
cr=$(echo "\r\c") sed '$s!'"$cr"'!!g' /path/to/input > output
To delete first ^M from the last line:
cr=$(echo "\r\c") sed '$s!'"$cr"'!!' /path/to/input > output
Hope This Helps, PH.
