For 'tr', it seems: cat > new.filename | tr -d \r < old.filename works. There might be a better way (and it's quite possible the above is wrong, but it's off the top of my head, so give me some slack :)). As far as editors, my personal fave (joe) can do it by using 'find' (ctrl+k-f), pressing ` then ctrl+M, choosing replace, and then not typing anything. It will highlight the first ^M, at which point you press 'R' (for replace Rest) and ta-da, they're all gone. -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
