This command removes the CRs from file and redirects the output to a file with the name newfile:

Code:
tr -d '\n' < file > newfile

This command mv (renames) the file newfile to file:

Code:
mv newfile file

Replace the name file with the name of your file in both commands.

Do you want to check if "verify_inbound_failed.txt" exist ???

Though probably not the cause of the unexpected eof (depends which shell you are using), the first line will fail if the file does not exist. I assume you want to run sqlplus if the file does not exist.

Quote:
if [ 0 -eq $(ls verify_inbound_failed.txt | wc -l) ]
Try:

Code:
if [ 0 -eq $(ls verify_inbound_failed.txt 2>/dev/null | wc -l) ]

Or much better:

Code:
if [ ! -f verify_inbound_failed.txt ]

Of if you actually wanted to run sqlplus if the file has lines in it.

Code:
if [ -s verify_inbound_failed.txt ]
