Hi!

I have to delete carriage return from a file but I don't know hot to.

I tried:

cat myfile.txt| sed -e 's/$//g'

myfile.txt is in unix format, not DOS.

Here's an example:

azerty
uiopq
sdfgh

I'd like to get this:

azertyuiopqsdfgh

Would you please help?

Thanks,
Zelos

If you want to convert a DOS/Windows ASCII file that contain NewLine/Carriage Return at end of every line to an Unix/Linux ASCII file that contains only NewLine at the end of every line just run the "dos2unix" command.

However to concatenate the way you've indicated is not quite the same thing. You could do something like:

awk 'ORS=" " {print $0}' myfile.txt

This will change the default record separator, newline, to a space. The resulting output though would have NO new lines so would not be recognized as a properly terminated line by many commands.

The easiest I think is this:
tr -d '\n'

You could also try this short script

#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat myfile.txt`
do
echo -n $i >> myfile.new
done

did not read correctly TS post so the answer did not apply

tr -d '\015'

in vi:

:g/^V^M/s///

Note: the poster says the file is an Unix file, not DOS, hence it is not the CR (aka. \r or ^M) that need to be deleted, it is the LF instead (that is \n).
