\_ I've got an output file where each line ends with a ^M.  I'm trying to get
\_ sed to filter out the ^M but cat doesn't print it.  I need to encorporate
\_ the solution into a script file so search and replace with a text editor
\_ wont do the trick either..  Any ideas?

cat foofile | perl -p -e s/\r$// | next op

YMMV, depending on the evil you need for quoting on/in your script.

Also, there are a few programs like dos2unix that would do that for
you too.
