Shell Programming and Scripting

Try

Code:

tr -d '\r' <scriptname

. Not sure if your system will do that, though.

Thanks very much, it worked like a charm. Every thing is working the way it should now.
I can't thank you enough for all you help.

Hi just a quick question concerning this scripting, is there any way I can remove these \r windows returns with sed?.
Thanks Again

There are simpler ways on some systems, but this should work with most shells and any version of sed:

Code:

cr=$(printf "\r")
sed "s/$cr//g" file > file_without_CR

Hi I was wondering if you could help me on this?
I'll try to explain my problem.
I have the original script that has the \r windows end of line characters, which I have to remove. What I have thought to do is to run the file through a pipe to stdin using the tr command to remove them.
The code I am using is below

Code:

tr -d '\r' < BatchScript |

What I have done is save this in a GOLDEN.TERM text file
Next I invoke this command through the shell with

Code:

while sleep 3; do GOLDEN.TERM; done

But the BatchScript does not run
can you telll me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much for all your patience
