I put the following snippet in my .bashrc:

d2u() {
        for p in $*
        do
                cat $p | tr "\r\n" "\n" > /tmp/$p.tmp
                mv /tmp/$p.tmp $p
        done
}

then, you can do :

d2u *.txt

and all the .txt files will automagically be converted from DOS to UNIX

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
