I try to test the carriage return in a variable.

Any help will be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm not very familiar with unix shell. I want to replace the combination of two carriage returns and one newline with one carriage return and one newline. I think the best way to do this is to use sed. I tried something like this:
sed -e "s#\#\#g" file.txt
but it doesn't work.
Thanx... (2 Replies)

FOLD(1) BSD General Commands Manual FOLD(1)
NAME
fold -- fold long lines for finite width output device
SYNOPSIS
fold [-bs] [-w width] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The fold utility is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the
lines to have a maximum of 80 columns.
The options are as follows:
-b Count width in bytes rather than column positions.
-s Fold line after the last blank character within the first width column positions (or bytes).
-w width
Specify a line width to use instead of the default 80 columns. The width value should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the
tabs should be expanded using expand(1) before using fold.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of fold as described in environ(7).
SEE ALSO
expand(1), fmt(1)
STANDARDS
The fold utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
BUGS
If underlining (see ul(1)) is present it may be messed up by folding.
