`s/\r\n/\n/g` should do it. See `perldoc perlop` and search for "Regex Quote-Like Operators." Also see `perldoc perlre`. This command replaces the `\r\n` sequence with `\n` for every occurrence in the string. Most of the time these commands invoke `sed` scripts, which can apply a regular-expression to modify the content of a file.	[reply]
