dos2unix for poor basic unix

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 '\\15\\32' < winfile.txt > unixfile.txt

I prefer the awk way of life:

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