How to remove carriage returns

[wallythewhale]

Hello,

I have a perl script that runs under Windows 2000 that creates a file. Each line in the file contains a \r\n at the end of it.

I want to use this file in Unix. But Unix does not like the \r. If I remove them with the vi editor, all is good.

I have tried the substitute commands, s/\r//g and s/\^M//g, but they do not work. Is there a perl way of doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Wally

If you have access to the UNIX box, try dos2unix.
It's in most distros. There is probably a version
for Win also. And probably in perl.
