Question

I am having trouble with Windows files running as part of a shell script on a Linux box and I was wondering if it is possible to “convert” a Windows created file to a Linux one using Java or possibly a Linux command?

For example:

If I upload a CSV file created in Windows, then on the server using nano I can see the file was saved in DOS Format. I can toggle between DOS and Linux format using M-D and save it as a Linux file.

My question is whether it is possible to achieve this via Java (<-preference) or through a Linux command?

I have tried stripping carriage returns sed -i 's/{ctrl-v}{ctrl-m}//g' [file] but this does not help with the issue.
