Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All
I have a rather unusual problem, which i have not faced till now. I have a script which exports some paths to a text file. The script runs fine but when i check the output file i can see some junk characters ^M appended at end of lines and random places. I am not able to figure this out..

Any help would be greately appriciated...

Thanks!!!

If you are using linux environment, insert below line in your script

dos2unix file

If solaris, then

dos2unix file > file2
\mv file2 file

actually this problem usually occurs when you are taking some database from windows and using in linux.
