Thats good to know because I don't really need to save these files I would just like to run them
if i use the command
Code:
tr -d '\r' < inputfile | >

should that work?

Oh, you want to run the file directly after doing it?

You use the bash or sh command for that.

Code:
tr -d '\r' < windowstext | bash -s

Of course, it would be better to not edit your scripts in microsoft notepad. Editing your UNIX scripts in UNIX with a UNIX editor would avoid the non-UNIX carriage returns...
