Copying Data to a File

Hi Guys,
I am trying to fix the following problem:
I need to create a .txt for input into a unix based system (sybase).
This has been done using BCP, and not DTS. Once BCP'ing data into the
.txt file, there are <CR><LF> data at the end of every row. Once the
data is imported into the unix system, these are showing up in the
database.
I've tried BCP with the:
-r \n
-r \r
-r \n \r
With no success (the characters still appear in sybase).
Is there any way to do this with BCP, and not have the characters
appear?
thanks,

You might want to try the tr command in *nix:
in_file | tr -d \r > out_file
Delete the carriage return character from the in_file and output to the
out_file.
