 ...Which if you don't have it, can be replaced by the following command:

 tr '^M' '' <[infile] >[outfile]

or for a slightly flashy version that safely overwrites the original file

 tr '^M' '' <[infile] >/tmp/tmp.txt && mv /tmp/tmp.txt [infile]

You may want to put these into shell scripts or aliases.
