UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

padpa, do not create multiple threads for a single problem/topic. This is against the forum rules. I have merged the thread from the AIX forum into this one.

As for your query on how to use dos2unix, you can take a look at the man page. A simple way is like this:

dos2unix somefile somefile

This will run dos2unix on the file named somefile and store the results in a file with the same name. Some versions of dos2unix do not support this syntax and will require that the output be redirected to another file and then the file to be copied back.

Hi,

I'm sorry for creating multiple threads...as I saw AIX section is for some interesting topics on AIX I thought to remove the thread from this and so i put the question in general questions...

coming to the question i didn't find any utlity like dos2unix or dos2ux..still I'm searching for the solution

Maybe try dos2aix

Even dos2aix didn't work

I checked with an AIX guy on my site and it seems that dos2aix isn't installed by default... You will either have to install it, or make do with this:

Code:

tr -d '\015' < inputfile > outputfile; mv outputfile inputfile

I have installed bos.dosutil package...but still not able to find that dos2aix command.I think the command is dosread or doswrite

Try this:

Code:

sed 's/.$//' old_file > new_file
