Shell script to convert files with CRLF to LF (Mac/Linux)

dos2unix.sh

#! /bin/sh

for x
do
    echo "Converting $x"
    tr -d '\015' < "$x" > "tmp.$x"
    mv "tmp.$x" "$x"
done

It appears the script can't find your file 'tmp.filename.js'. Is it in your local directory where the script is?

tr -d '\015' < "$x" > "tmp.$x"
Will script create this tmp file? Will I need to create this tmp file by myself?

This script makes tmp file and overwrite original file. You don't need to do anything.

Thanks for sharing this!!!!

I was having some issues with the tmp file not being found. I ended up contacting the string and then run the code. Here is what I ended up doing in the end.

for x
do
    echo "Converting $x"
    temp_file+="tmp."$x
    tr -d '\015' < "$x" > temp_file
    mv temp_file "$x"
done
