Code:
tr -d '\r' <initORCL.ora >initORCL.ora.clean

Code:
dos2unix initORCL.ora initORCL.ora

hi,

did you try this one
Code:
sed 's/^M$//' input_file > output_file

NOTE: Use the "correct" "^M" to get it:
"control+v" followed by "control+m" key combinations.

in vi editor you can do this:
Code:
 :%s/(ctrl-v)(ctrl-m)//g

thank you,
Code:
tr -d '^M' initORCL.ora
tr: Invalid combination of options and Strings.
Usage: tr [ [-c|-C] | -[c|C]ds | -[c|C]s | -ds | -s ] [-A] String1 String2
       tr { -[c|C]d | -[c|C]s | -d | -s } [-A] String1

thanks to all.
Finaly this works :
Code:
sed 's/^M$//' input_file > output_file

NOTE: Use the "correct" "^M" to get it:
"control+v" followed by "control+m" key combinations.

try the following at command line:

Code:
sed 's/'"$(printf '\015')"'$//g' filename > newfilename

That's not how you use tr, the '\r' was meant literally. \r and ^M are the same character.

tr -d '\r' < input is probably the best solution. Should work on any sane UNIX.

I think the easiest way as ctsgnb mentioned is dos2unix command

The easiest way is usually to re-transfer the file using the correct method.

The "dos2unix" (or "dos2ux") program can have undesirable side effects (for example with accented characters). Try the conversion in both directions on representative sample data first.
