How can I convert a DOS text file to Unix text file, so I can use my Linux parser properly?

Solution 1

dos2unix is a tool for converting line endings.

Solution 2

Most Unix installations include the 'tr' command ('tr' is short for 'translate') - you could use that to convert your input file with DOS text to output Unix text format:

tr -d '\r' < dos.txt > unix.txt

HTH!

Solution 3

On Debian-derived (Ubuntu, etc) systems, you want the tofrodos package, which provides the commands todos and fromdos. (fromdos is the one you are looking for.)

On RedHat-derived systems (RHEL, Centos, Fedora, etc), you want the dos2unix package, which provides the commands dos2unix and mac2unix. To convert in the other direction, you'll want the unix2dos package, which provides the unix2dos command.
