remove ^M from files

if you want remove ^M characters from the files.


1) ftp the files using ascii mode

or

2) use dos2unix in Unix. (Most O.S should have this) if you don't

Then

3) use any of the below for one time .

cat filename |perl -pe 's/\015\012/\n/g' > filename.without.ctrl.m

or

This will do an inline edit of the file, if you wish to do every file in the directory
perl -p -i -e 's/^M//g' *

or

sed 's/^M//g' ${INPUT_FILE} > tmp.txt

mv tmp.txt ${INPUT_FILE}

or

tr -d "\15" < ${INPUT_FILE} > tmp.txt;

mv tmp.txt ${INPUT_FILE}

or)

For multiple files.

#!/bin/ksh
for f in `ls *.CSV` ###( change this .CSV to whatever file extensions you have)
do
mv $f ${f}~ && tr -d '\015\032' <${f}~ >$f
rm ${f}~
done
