Guys, I just noticed all the files in 2nd directory have control-M characters ^M in them which is causing all files in 2nd directory to be shown as different. Is there a way I can write a script that will loop through all the files in the 2nd directory and remove the control characters from the file if they exits and save the file and then do the comparison.

wrap-and-sort
WRAP-AND-SORT(1) General Commands Manual WRAP-AND-SORT(1)
NAME
wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
SYNOPSIS
wrap-and-sort [options]
DESCRIPTION
wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are
longer than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap-and-sort
removes trailing spaces in these files.
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and
*.install in the debian directory.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
-a, --wrap-always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.
-s, --short-indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).
-b, --sort-binary-packages
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.
-k, --keep-first
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top. Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to
the first package.
-n, --no-cleanup
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.
-d path, --debian-directory=path
Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).
-f file, --file=file
Wrap and sort only the specified file. You can specify this parameter multiple times. All supported files will be processed if no
files are specified.
-v, --verbose
Print all files that are touched.
