Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all;

i was asked to install an inventory tool on our Reliant Unix 5.45 server. I downloaded the file from our intratnet.
It was always failing when i try to install it.
After some investigation i saw that the installation script had something strange.
When i "cat <script>" i see nothing wrong.
When i "vï <script> " i see that each line of the script ends wiht ^M i guess this is a Carigage return....

I tried to use :
sed '/^M/d ' <script> >> <script1> and when i "vi <script1>" the problem is still there and i alway see ^M at the end of each line.

Can somebody tell me how can i remove this ^M ???

Thanks in advance.

In most flavour of *nix, you will have a caommand calles dos2unix or dos2ux.
You can run this on the file to remove these.

if your scrip is called sript.sh this out be:

dos2unux script.sh script.sh ( yes the filname should be here twice)

or failing that you could do

sed 's/^M//g' script.sh > newscript.sh

(^M is produced by typing ctrl+v then ctrl+m)

The problem is file is in DOS format. You can change it as,

dos2ux <filename> > <outputfile>

hth.
