Subject: bash- Removing Line feeds (Carriage returns) from data

Hello,

I'm currently using cygwin (updated yesterday) with a WIN2K resource kit
utility to dump logs from event viewer into a comma delimited file. One
behavior that I have noticed (and occasionally notice with cygwin in
general) is that within the data, there are what I believe to be carriage
returns (show up in an excel spreadsheet as a square character). This data
will eventually end up in an Oracle database, so these characters are
undesirable. I was wondering if there is a way (outside of manually editing
the file, perhaps with sed or awk) to remove these characters?

Here's the command that's producing them in the bash shell:

/cygdrive/d/EventAudit/dumpel.exe -d 1 -s MyPC -l system -t -c |
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/awk '{print "MyPC" "," "system" "," $0}' >>
/cygdrive/d/EventAudit/serverevents.`/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/date +%Y%m%d`

I was unable to find any reference to an automated resolution on google or
cygwin FAQ.

Thanks for the help.

Jared
