Can't use special characters \n or \r

[jay3205]

I have a text file made in Windows, and I'm trying to replace all the
carriage returns with nothing. However, whenever I use \r or \n to indicate
a carriage return or newline in a grep or sed search string, it is treated
as a normal r and normal n. Anyone have any idea of what may be causing
this?
