Hi Gopal,

I assume you have edited a file (login script?) on a Windows machine and then transferred it to the Unix server. This is typical for the different handling of CR/LF and the end of the line. Here you can see how a file looks like that was created with notepad on Windows and now is opened with vi on a Unix box.

this is a test^M

with a second line^M

and a third line^M

Hi Gopal,

I see two simple ways (after you have identified the file with the ^M):

- open it with vi on the Unix box and delete the ^M

- on Windows use an editior which allows to save a file with line breaks in Unix style

Hi gopal,

After you have identified the file/s(probably .sapenv* files) then you can use the following command to remove the CR characters:

tr -d '\r' < inputfile > outputfile

The input file being the effected file and the output file will be the one with the removed ^M. Just backup your old files first then you should be able to replace them with the output files exactly as they are named on the file system.

Hi Neils,

Thanks for reply.

when i tried this command after took backup than it gave this message.

tr -d '\r' .sapenv_tegaprod.csh .sapenv_tegaprod1.csh*

Usage: tr [ -c | -cds | -cs | -ds | -s ] [-A] String1 String2

tr { -cd | -cs | -d | -s } [-A] String1

Can i use vi - .sapenv command to edit the file.

Thanks & Regards

Hi gopal,

You forgot the < and > needed for redirection

eg.

tr -d '\r' < .sapenv_tegaprod.csh > .sapenv_tegaprod1.csh

You can also use Vi or any Unix based editor should work if you comfortable using it.
