Subject: How to remove invisible character?
.
I have an ascii text file that seems to have hex 015
characters embedded at the end of each line and I can't
figure out how those seemingly invisible characters got
there or how to remove them. Their presence causes a
shell script that I am trying to use on the target file
to not work. It works on example (a) below, but not on
example (b). When I open these files with a text editor
(kwrite), the contents looks identical on both (a) and (b)



$ hexdump -cb exo-20:12 (a)
0000000 E X O - 2 0 : 1 2 \n
0000000 105 130 117 055 062 060 072 061 062 012
000000a

$ hexdump -cb exo-20:12 (b)
0000000 E X O - 2 0 : 1 2 \r \n
0000000 105 130 117 055 062 060 072 061 062 015 012
