Hello Timothy,
If you wanted to do it the perl way, which can be more then one way.
Type in the below code.
#!/usr/bin/perl -i
while (<>) {
/\n/g;;
print $_;
}
Regards,
Jaimee
p.s Yes there is a utility called dos2unix you use it in perl also by typing
$cformat = `dos2unix $filename $filename`;
or use it as a standalone at the command line by typing
dos2unix inputfile outputfile
