Someone showed me this once (in this forum I believe) - so all credit to that person, but I can't remember who (sorry if you know it was you!); works a treat:
Code:
perl -i -pne "s/\n/\r\n/g" filename
This converts the file directly, so you wont get a different output file. You can then revesre the \n and \r\n to change a Windows file to Unix!!!

Happy converting

See if you have the unix2dos utility installed. It has a counterpart called, you guessed it, dos2unix...

Some systems call it dostounix or dos2ux...

Good luck.
