I am trying to port a C++ program from Windows to Ubuntu . In Ubuntu environment , My program reads a text file which was created in Windows , however it appears the Carriage Return is affecting the reading of the file in Ubuntu environment , therefore I wish to remove all the Carriage Return .

I have tried the following command on Windows to convert the text file to Linux format

dos2unix User.txt User1.txt

I also tried this

 tr -d '\15\32' < User.txt > User1.txt

Both these methods dont work , I am getting the following error :

is not recognised as an internal or external command , op program , or batch file

What am I doing wrong here ??

Try to run the commands on your Ubuntu machine. tr is in coreutils and therefore always available, dos2unix needs to be installed.

As a side note: In Python, a file object has the attribute newlines, that stores all end-of-line characters in a tuple. Is something similar available for C++?
