Most Unix installations include the 'tr' command ('tr' is short for 'translate') - you could use that to convert your input file with DOS text to output Unix text format:
tr -d '\r' < dos.txt > unix.txt
HTH!
On Debian-derived (Ubuntu, etc) systems, you want the tofrodos
package, which provides the commands todos
and fromdos
. (fromdos
is the one you are looking for.)
On RedHat-derived systems (RHEL, Centos, Fedora, etc), you want the dos2unix
package, which provides the commands dos2unix
and mac2unix
. To convert in the other direction, you'll want the unix2dos
package, which provides the unix2dos
command.
If you mean "how do I convert a plain-text file in DOS format to a plain-text file in UNIX format", try the dos2unix command.
Do you mean: You want to convert Windows text files into Linux text files? If yes: There's a utility dos2unix
that will do the job for you.
