Unix Tip #4553- August 29, 2025
CLEANUP DOS FILES
If you deal with DOS files and the "^M" character
always appears at the end of the line, here are
two ways to get rid of them.
If you edit the DOS text file with the "vi"
editor in UNIX, use the following from the
"vi" command line:
:%s/^V^M//g
From a Unix shell use the command:
% sed 's/^V^M//g' foo > foo.new
NOTE: ^V is control V and ^M is control M or Enter
NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
by various unix admins around the globe. UGU suggest you read and
test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
production.
