Linux

Hi all,

I am new to unix....pls help me with this.

I have a binary file generating output by passing arguments in bash.when i open the output file in VI i can see that ^m is included in between most of lines,as a result when i pass this file to my java application it dosent parse the data properly.

Can anyone guide me how can i remove this automatically when file is created.I did achieve this by :%s/^m//g method.But i am looking for en efficient manner as i cant perform the same all time.

Even dos2unix dosent seem usefull as it dosent remove ^m from entire document.Only part of removed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanx
Ashesh

Assuming you mean a text file, not a binary one, you can use that command:

Code:

tr -d '\r' < old > new

Hi Buddy,

Thanx a lot....this seems to work realy well...

But if thr any mechanism by which i can get rid of them during the file creation.The command i run to create the output is

./table.Linux-i386.bin -o r -t systemtagsys -t waferpos -t waferattr -t config -t systemtag -t rawdata -t wafertagsys -t limitfile -t varindex -t lottag aa.ad3 > output_file

I dont have the source code for ./table.Linux-i386,so i dont really know whts in tht.
-O is for the orientation for the output files.

I doubt if we can infer from this how ^m is added to the output file.
I also tried to ftp the file over in both BINARY and ASSCII mode but the problem remains the same in either case.

Just basic shell scripting given the above.

Code:

./table.Linux-i386.bin -o r -t systemtagsys -t waferpos -t waferattr -t config -t systemtag -t rawdata -t wafertagsys -t limitfile -t varindex -t lottag aa.ad3 | tr -d '\r' > output_file
