For each file recursively I used -

find / -name "*" | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/^M//g' *

This will find all files "*" starting from the root and on each file having ^M will perform a cleanup globally.


But there is a PROBLEM with this command . It changed all my LIBRABRIES since i used -- perl -p -i -e 's/^M//g' *

Is there some way to revert this thing from my libraries . Does any revert command exits for the Control M in libraries. I believe my libraries are corrupted now.

Am afraid no options are available, except if you have backups....

control M characters are mess.. yes.. when copied from windows..
i have a simpler way to do this

dos2unix file1 >file2
mv file2 file1


tell me if it works for you
