Removing ^M from your files

 Doesnt it just drive you nuts to edit a file in Windows 95 or Windows 98, and have a ^M at the end of each line ? Well with the following information, we can remove that. 

 Do the following :

'perl -i.bak -npe 's/\r\n/\n/g' <file>'

  Notes :
where <file> is the name of the file you want to "clean".
The original file is copied to <file>.bak...


  Thats all there is to it... nothing fancy.
