RE: Replace 0d with a space

I don’t know how to answer this.  The file is one that is sent to me from a mainframe – as EBCDIC – in a readable format.  It is delivered to a Linux server (if it makes a difference from Unix).  There is a code that is loaded into the data that has a 0D at the end of the data which is causing the file to cut in two.  If I manually delete the 0D and add a space, everything works great.   I figured out how to get the 0D out but can’t figure out how to replace it with a space.    I am using a Kornshell script to do the work.

Let me know if I can give you any more information to help me out.  I will see what I can do with what you’ve sent me.  Thank so much for the response.

Thanks & Regards,

Is it a DOS or UNIX file? It might help to know more detail about
exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-great-newline-schism/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__blog.codinghorror.com_the-2Dgreat-2Dnewline-2Dschism_&d=CwQCaQ&c=gtIjdLs6LnStUpy9cTOW9w&r=NAie2iwnZ7jxCSw-kth6IRs1psJ6bmT6MgPbxWPyXlo&m=jKarwz4SqjBgMbxqSDglH_NwDgUy8V46Fy9AMLK2ikQ&s=JowX0Srul8v4BRQ48eFk2Ny3M6eerz6MNZHNDBqXjpk&e=> is an article
that gives a pretty decent explanation about 0X0A and 0X0D (octal 15).
It sounds like you already understand about DOS and UNIX newline
conventions?

Anyway, to replace 0X0D with space, using GNU tr or GNU sed, I think the
answer is similar to the other response:

tr "\015" " " (zero)
--- OR ---
sed "s/\o15/ /g" ("little o")

$ echo -e ":\015:" | od -cx # input with 0X0D (octal 15)
0000000 : \r : \n
0d3a 0a3a
0000004

$ echo -e ":\015:" | tr "\015" " " | od -cx
0000000 : : \n
203a 0a3a
0000004

$ echo -e ":\015:" | sed -r "s/\o15/ /g" | od -cx
0000000 : : \n
203a 0a3a
0000004
