Hi All,

I have problem with FTP.

When i am transferring a shell script from Windows to Solaris i am getting some extra characters in the Script.

#^M
# Program: csv_to_sas_ds.ksh^M
# Author: Rajani ^M
#^M

Can some one help me regarding the same.

Regards,
Rajani.

Hi,

^M is a line feed character. UNIX/Linux systems use only the carriage return (CR; ASCII 15) character at the end of a line, Mac's use line feed (LF; ASCII 32), and windows uses carriage return and line feed (CRLF)

Inside vim do this:

:%s/^M$//g

In the above, ^M is an excape sequence and must be created using Ctrl+V then Ctrl+M. If you type carot-M it will not work.

Or on the command line using tr:

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

Or using awk:

awk '{ print $0 "\r"}' unixfile > winfile.txt

Or using sed

sed 's/\r$//' winfile > unixfile

Or using perl

perl -p -e 's/\r$//' < winfile.txt > unixfile
