Do you have cygwin base install right? So no dos2unix…you can convert a windows file to unix format with a small tr command like

tr -d '\<code>15</code>\<code>32</code>' &lt; winfile.txt &gt; unixfile.txt

1	tr -d '\<code>15</code>\<code>32</code>' < winfile.txt > unixfile.txt

I prefer the awk way of life:

1	I prefer the awk way of life:

[bash]
awk ‘{ sub("\r$", ""); print }’ winfile.txt > unixfile.txt
awk ‘sub("$", "\r")’ unixfile.txt > winfile.txt
[/bash]
