remove Carriage Return

[plook]

Good Afternoon,

Does anybody know how we can remove all the Carriage Return codes (ASCII CODE 13) and leave only the Line feeds (ASCII CODE 10) ?

What I need to do is to be able to send a text file made in windows to a linux box. But the linux box needs to be without any CR. I need some way to screen the files automatically and remove all the CR in it. Or a way to save a file in Windows without CR, but only LF in it.

Any ideas how to proceed?

On a unix system, you can remove the carriage return characters using 'tr'. For example:

cat <filename> | tr -d '\r' > <filename>

If the file is large enough, you'll need to output to a different file or you won't end up with the whole thing at the end.
