What's the best way of doing dos2unix on a 500k line file, in Windows? [closed]

Answer 1

tr -d '^M' < infile > outfile

You will type ^M as : ctrl+V , Enter

Edit: You can use '\r' instead of manually entering a carriage return, [thanks to @strager]

tr -d '\r' < infile > outfile

Edit 2: 'tr' is a unix utility, you can download a native windows version from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net[thanks to @Rob Kennedy] or use cygwin's unix emulation.
