hi

I want to suppress the output of dos2unix command in my shell script. I'm using follwing command in my script

I can't reproduce this...

$ dos2unix data
ISD=977155185403901+DIE CAST+DIE CAST 055555+01087+001008+SPR 08+08+004+Y'
ISD=977155185403901+DIE CAST+DIE CAST?+55555+01087+001008+SPR 08+08+004+Y'
$ dos2unix data > /dev/null
$

Maybe something else is causing the output, not dos2unix. But if you discard the output from dos2unix, why run it at all? It will have no effect except to waste time.

Hello friends,

Thanks for your reply.
I tried for dos2uix folder/*.* > text, 2>/dev/null, but none of them worked

Actually it's not error. I need to avoid output like.
