Then do this:
perl -pe "s/\cM/<br>/g" -i.bak <your file>
Attached are the files I used.

Jared,
I tried your suggestion (and the others) but I still get no joy.
Maybe I haven't explained properly. The following is one field (but it
is output to 5 seperate lines) from the dump from Sybase:
Separate and freeze serum. Wrap in foil to protect from light.~Collect
on ice .^M
Must be kept in dark. ^M
Wrap specimen in aluminium foil.^M
Send to Pathology ASAP. ^M
DO NOT COLLECT IN A GEL TUBE.
What I'm trying to do is end up with (all on the same line):
Separate and freeze serum. Wrap in foil to protect from light.~Collect
on ice .<br>Must be kept in dark.<br>Wrap specimen in aluminium
foil.<br>Send to Pathology ASAP. <br>DO NOT COLLECT IN A GEL TUBE.
Thanks,
Wayne
