\r characters in the file
hi
I copied a file to unix box from windows.
When i run this file it throws error on every command written in that file.
The reason is that the file contains some \r charecters that came into picture while copying the file.
This could be viewed by using od -c command.
My question is that is there any command in unix or any way by which this special \r charecters be removed?
Thanks.

wborder
CURSES_BORDER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CURSES_BORDER(3)
NAME
curses_border, border, box, wborder -- curses border drawing routines
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int
border(chtype ls, chtype rs, chtype ts, chtype bs, chtype tl, chtype tr, chtype bl, chtype br);
int
box(WINDOW *win, chtype vertical, chtype horizontal);
int
wborder(WINDOW *win, chtype ls, chtype rs, chtype ts, chtype bs, chtype tl, chtype tr, chtype bl, chtype br);
DESCRIPTION
These functions draw borders around stdscr or around the specified window.
The border() function draws a border around stdscr using the characters given as arguments to the function. The ls, rs, ts and bs are the
characters used to draw the left, right, top and bottom sides, respectively. The tl, tr, bl and br are the characters used to draw the top-
left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right corners, respectively. If any of the characters have a text portion that is 0 then a default
alternate character set character is used for that character. Note that even though the text portion of the argument is 0, the argument can
still be used to specify the attributes for that portion of the border. The following table shows the default characters for each argument:
ls ACS_VLINE
rs ACS_VLINE
ts ACS_HLINE
bs ACS_HLINE
tl ACS_ULCORNER
tr ACS_URCORNER
bl ACS_LLCORNER
br ACS_LRCORNER
wborder() is the same as border() excepting that the border is drawn around the specified window.
The box() command draws a box around the window given in win using the vertical character for the vertical lines and the horizontal character
for the horizontal lines. The corner characters of this box will be the defaults as described for border() above. Passing characters with
text portion that is 0 to box() will result in the same defaults as those for border() as described above.
RETURN VALUES
Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected. The functions that return an int will return one of the following
values:
OK The function completed successfully.
ERR An error occurred in the function.

STANDARDS
