remove carriage returns from text file?

[ryan010101]

Hello,
I need to create a script that will strip out all the carriage returns from a text file. The text in the file I'm being sent is supposed to all be on one line with no breaks, but the other person's software is inserting CRs supposedly when it is FTPed. Any help would be appriciated.

thanks
Ryan

Try something like this:
tr -d '\015' </path/to/input >output

That kinda worked except the breaks are still there (the file is a few bytes smaller). I guess I should've said I need to remove carriage return/line feeds?

Thanks for the reply.

I found it (\015\012) and it works. Thanks for the help!
