strange sed behavior
I have a file called products.kp which contains, for example,
12345678,1^M
87654321,2^M
13579123,3
when I run the command
cat products.kp| sed -f kp.sed
where kp.sed contains
s,^M,,
I get the output
12345678,1
87654321,2
13579123,3
so everything is ok.
However, when I run this command on another unix box, I get the output
12345678,1
87654321,2
ie. I don't get the last line returned.
has anyone any idea why? or a different way to do it in sed?
Thanks
ps. I'm using Sco and Bourne shell

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
