Go no farther than your own shell

There is a common/standard program called "tr" that translates characters, and can take "\" escaped C-style placeholders for non-printing characters

Per the "man tr" page, you probably want:

  tr \r \n <file1 >file2

(you may need a "-c" parameter -- read the man page carefully...)

Wrap this command in your fileset-handling-logic of your choice :)
