Any more ways to change this light bulb?
How about:
sed -i -e 's/\r//' script
g?
For a straight dos2unix job, there should only be a single
carriage-return character on each line, so the "g" flag shouldn't be
necessary. However, it would probably be safer to use it in case there
were other carriage returns in the file.
Better still, anchor the replacement to the end of the line so as to
leave other carriage return characters (which might be needed by the
script) intact:
sed -i -e 's/\r$//' script
