You can actually optimize the regular expression using a string termination anchor: `s/\r$//` That keeps it from having to check the entire string. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply] [d/l]

To speed things up, I'd read more at a time. `perl -pe'BEGIN { $/ = \(1024*1024); } s/\r//g;' file.in >file.out` [download] But yeah, it will take time to copy 7GB.	[reply] [d/l]

That will change *ALL* `\r` in text, not just trailing `\r`. I do not think that is what `dos2ux` is supposed to do, though I admit that HP's manual page isn't very clear on that: DESCRIPTION dos2ux and ux2dos read each specified file in sequence and write + it to standard output, converting to HP-UX format or to DOS format, respectively. Each file can be either DOS format or HP-UX forma +t for either command. A DOS file name is recognized by the presence of an embedded col +on (:) delimiter; see dosif(4) for DOS file naming conventions. If no input file is given or if the argument - is encountered, d +os2ux and ux2dos read from standard input. Standard input can be comb +ined with other files. [download] Enjoy, Have FUN!

Fine, I suppose if you captured the output of a program that does `print "\r95%"`, you'd have a problem. For the rest of the time, \r will only be found before \n. Checking for \r\n is more expensive since you need special handling because the read can end between the two.	[reply] [d/l]
