samba - Jun 2006 - Perl file conversion (dos2unix)

In samba digest volume 1 #199 there is a post entitled "Plain text file
transfer problem".  In there it states that there is a perl script that
will do file translations from dos to unix.  Would it be possible for me
to get a copy of that?

 

Thanks,

You might like this?

 	perl -pe 's/\r//g' foo.dos.txt > foo.unix.txt

All you have to do to convert a DOS text file to Unix is remove
the carriage returns; that leaves you with linefeeds only,
which is what Unix uses.
