Windows edit of bash file fix

[Ed_P]

If a .sh file is edited in Windows it becomes non-executable in Linux due to a carriage return at the end of lines. Bogomips had a command that fixed the problem, does anyone remember it or have a link to his posting?

Thanks babam I will check it out.

I thought Bogomips thing was a bash command with grep and sed functions.

I see this as "Alternatives to dos2unix conversion" :
Unix2dos

Code: Select all

$ tr -d '\r' < file > file2

or

Code: Select all

$ perl -i -p -e 's/\r//g' file

or

Code: Select all

$ sed -i -e 's/\r//g' file

or

Code: Select all

$ col -b < InFile > OutFile

Thanks Rapha_.

I getmoded dos2unix and I found Bogomips post: Re: [INFO & SCRIPT] Slackware Mirror Settings for USM (Post by Bogomips #56484) which is similar to your tr one. I'll play around with the various options and see which one is the easiest for me to use.

Thanks guys.
