I have a bash script writting to a .procmailrc file, but it is putting
in ctrl-M's where I have \r or \015. You can see them in vi but not when
you cat the file. It wouldn't be a problem, but procmail cant read it
with those in there. I tried \n, but it adds alot of blank lines.
The archives mostly talk about compatability for dos/linux, but that
doesnt help me.
Thanks,
Shawn

There are a lot of options for converting files between 'dos' style (\r\n as
line separators) and the 'unix' style (only \n is used):
* dos2unix or unix2dos
* tr -d '\r' < dos_file > unix_file
* vi: edit file and set the fileformat option to unix or dos and save:
vi zbr
:set fileformat=unix
ZZ
