Remove CR as end of line marker with dos script

I have a file and each file have in the end CRCRLF end or line marker. I have to remove CR to have file in windows format (leave CRLF). How is it possible to do with MS Dos bat file?

SteveGTR

I created the following batch file that should do the trick:

@echo off

if "%~1"=="" echo Please enter file name.&goto :EOF
if not exist "%~1" echo %~1 does not exist.&goto :EOF

for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a in ('findstr /N /V _DONOTFIND_ "%~1"') do call :PROCESS "%%b"

goto :EOF

:PROCESS

if "%~1"=="" (echo.) else (echo %~1)

If you named the file REMOVECR.BAT and your input file name was input.txt, you could say:

removecr input.txt >output.txt

The results would be placed in output.txt.

Good Luck,
Steve
