if you want to remove ^M.You can try this..

i want script to write the script to implement this one.

There are many ways to achieve this
1- Using vi editor
^M is DOS line break character which shows up in UNIX files when uploaded from a windows file system in ASCII format.

To remove this, open your file in vi editor and type

Code:

:%s/(ctrl-v)(ctrl-m)//g

or

Code:

:%s/^V^M//g

and press Enter key.

Important!! – press (Ctrl-v) (Ctrl-m) combination to enter ^M character, dont use “^” and M.

If anything goes wrong exit with q!.

2- Using tr command

Code:

$tr -d '\015' < file

Easy use tr command snippet in a script.

You can use a for loop to do this for a list of files

Code:

tr -d '\r' <yourfile >newfile

Below command working fine...

Code:

 
tr -d '\r' <yourfile >newfile
Thanks lot
