Need to replace odd character in file uploaded from windows to unix
I'm developing some java apps in Eclipse on Win2k, and when I scp the java files to the unix box, there's an odd character (^M) at the end of each line of the java program.
I've removed these characters manually, but it's a huge pain the butt, and some of these programs can be 1000+ lines. Is there a way to globally replace this character? I tried Code:
g/^M/s// /g and g/^M/s//REPLACEME/g but they didn't work. Here's an example of what it looks like: Code:
import java.util.Properties;^M
import javax.mail.*;^M
import javax.mail.internet.*;^M
^M
import java.sql.*;^M
import java.util.*;^M
^M
public class OneStopReport ^M
{^M
^M
^M
public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException^M
{^M
//OneStopReport.loadOnestopDatabase();^M
OneStopReport.generateOneStopReport();^M
} ^M

There are different ways to handle this:
1. Use ftp instead of scp and ftp the files over in ASCII mode. This will automatically remove the ^M characters. 2. Do a whereis dos2unix to see if dos2unix is installed on your system. If so, simply type: dos2unix *.java and it'll convert your java files. 3. If you don't have dos2unix, either consider installing it or roll out your own dos2unix script. See http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...21944&forumid=6 fpr a one-liner perl script that does it.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem any of those will work.
FTP isn't enabled on any of our machines. whereis doesn't even seem to work. (AIX 5.0.1.1) Code:
$ whereis dos2unix ksh: whereis: not found And I highly doubt perl is installed on any of our unix boxes. Is it possible to do it with a shell script? Or is there a java way to do that?

Use sed or perhaps write a java program to remove \r from files.

Aha! The box does have dos2unix.
The command is which on our box (Maybe an AIX thing), not whereis. *.java didn't work though. Had to specify each file name manually.

Are all the *.java files in the current directory or not. If they are in subdirectories, then *.java won't work and you'll have to specify the path name. Alternatively, you could use something like this: find . -type f -name "*.java" | xargs dos2unix This will recursively find all the java files starting from the current directory and run dos2unix on each one. Christo, one of these days I might actually do it. Gotta keep my java skillz up you know  .
