If you're using a text mount, then cygwin1.dll will remove the ^M's from infile before sed ever sees it, so the script has no effect. Then, when sed writes the unchanged file back to outfile, cygwin1.dll will add the ^M's back to the file on its way to the disk. -Chuck - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
