Convert line endings [duplicate]

Some options:

Using tr

tr -d '\15\32' < windows.txt > unix.txt

OR

tr -d '\r' < windows.txt > unix.txt 

Using perl

perl -p -e 's/\r$//' < windows.txt > unix.txt

Using sed

sed 's/^M$//' windows.txt > unix.txt

OR

sed 's/\r$//' windows.txt > unix.txt

To obtain ^M, you have to type CTRL-V and then CTRL-M.
