dos2unix bash script

In this article I will show you a short bash script that will do a dos2unix text file conversion.

1:   #!/bin/bash
2:   cat $1|tr -d '\015'

 Line number 1 tells your system that this file is a set of commands that will be executed by the bash CLI.

Line number 2 convert from dos to unix

save this file as d2u.sh and exit from gedit

from a terminal set the file execution attribute typing 

# chmod +x d2u.sh

and move it into /usr/local/bin

# mv d2u.sh /usr/local/bin

now the script is ready to run.

Try this script typing the following command:

# d2u.sh <dos_file_name>
