Full Discussion: Removed ^M from Libraries
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Removed ^M from Libraries Post 302231054 by bakunin on Monday 1st of September 2008 11:21:59 AM

Sorry, but in this case a R&R (reboot and restore) is called for.

It is not - not even theoretically - possible to revert this because it is not clear where the "^M"s have been: You have EOLs which are preceeded by a ^M and EOLs which aren't. It is easy to search for the ones which are and change them - like you have done. But now you have only EOLs which aren't preceeded by ^M and if you now add a ^M before each of them your libraries will perhaps be as corrupted as they are now because there will be any number of superfluous ^Ms in there.

I hope this helps - if only to avoid it the next time.
