Question about " tr"

[epidor]

Hi everybody !

What is the meaning of this, please ?

more fic|tr -d '\015' >result

Thanks.

It looks like something trying to remove carraige returns CR octal 015 from a file. Don't feel confident that it would work though

 

[epidor]

Thanks Stritzgi !

But It's not true.

Carraige return is 012.
I'm looking for 015 ???

man ascii:

Octal/Character
000 NUL | 001 SOH | 002 STX | 003 ETX | 004 EOT | 006 ACK | 007 BEL
010 BS | 011 HT | 012 NL | 013 VT | 014 NP | 016 SO | 017 SI


Hexadecimal/Character
00 NUL | 01 SOH | 02 STX | 03 ETX | 04 EOT | 05 ENQ | 06 ACK
08 BS | 09 HT | 0A NL | 0B VT | 0C NP | 0D CR | 0E SO

Decimal/Character
0 NUL 1 SOH 2 STX 3 ETX 4 EOT 5 ENQ 6 ACK
8 BS 9 HT 10 NL 11 VT 12 NP 13 CR 14 SO


Seems like the missing '015' in octal table is actually a 'CR' in other ascii conversion tables.

This is common code where people work in MS and Unix environments sharing text files between them. The octal \015 is extra character needed by MS for end-of-line processing. In vi and Emacs this character shows up as ^M. (One character even though showing two.)

You might also see something like this instead...
