Re: Unix vs Windows Text File Format

in the shell run

perl -pi '.bak' -e 's/^M//' <FILE_NAME>
[download]

Note: ^M above is actually a literal [CTRL]-M, this can be entered in the shell as [CTRL]-V [CTRL]-M
([CTRL]-V - "take the next character as a literal")

Edited as dave_the_m pointed out, I had the run options in the wrong order, I can only put this down to a lack of caffeine

print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

`perl -epi ...` Er, no. That executes the code 'pi' with the rest of the line as @ARGV, which is effectively a noop. Also there mustn't be a space between -i and its arg. Lastly, using `\r` is to be much preferred than a literal carriage-return control character. You want this instead: `perl -pi'.bak' -e 's/\r//' <FILE_NAME>` [download] Dave.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
