[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello:

When transferring files from the Windows environment to the Linux environment we execute a script to remove the \cr characters. The script performs a simple

tr -d '\r'  < input  > output

Recently we were testing with files that contained a string with a single quote - "Paym't"

What the tr command is doing is not only removing the "\cr" characters but also the single quote. What we ended up with was "Paymt"


Any ideas?

Ami I using the tr command incorrectly?


We are running:

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild <at> x86-027.build.eng.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-9) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sun Feb 1 12:14:02 EST 2015

cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)


Thanks.
