When downloading or copying text from a non-windows
machine, or when running scripting, you sometimes get copies of ^M inserted
in your text. You can delete those in the following way. In the linux directory
where you have the ugly file, called ugly (for example),
create a file called trl containing the two lines:
tr -d '\015' < $1 >$2
mv $2 $1
Then make the file trl executable by changing its protection to 744 (this is
done with the command
chmod 744 trl
Then when you want to clean up file ugly type the command
./trl ugly clean
Hopefully, the ugly file will now be beautiful. Be sure to change its name to
reflect its change in appearence.
