Shell Programming and Scripting

I am looking for a automatic script in finding the ^M and then doing concat the line .
Suppose in the file we have 10 lines with ^M .

I checked the tr command it is not working. Please give me another clue.

Thanks

Thanks for your help.

Your script is working manually one by one at the command prompt.
But I am trying to do automatic the script is below which is not working.
For ^M character --> I am pressing < crtl v and Ctrl M> in the script.


for file in `ls /home/applmgr/test/`
do
CHECK=`cat $file | grep "^M" | wc -l`
if [ $CHECK -eq 1 ]
then
sed '/^M$/N;s/^M\N//' $file > /tmp/tempfile.tmp
mv /tmp/tempfile.tmp $file
fi
done

Please let me know if any clue or suggestion for making automatic

Thanks

Try this, beware of the ^M characters, type it as I early mentioned (with vi):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

for file in /home/applmgr/test/* ; do
  grep '^M' "$file" >/dev/null
  if [ $? == 0 ]; then
    sed '/^M$/N;s/^M\n//' "$file" > /tmp/tempfile.tmp
    mv /tmp/tempfile.tmp "$file"
  fi
done

It worked .
Here it should be sed '/^M$/N;s/^M\n//' "$file" > /tmp/tempfile.tmp
