I use vim, or Notepad2 in Windows.

But hey this is not a carriage return problem.

You might like this though:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
#
#   Remove carriage returns and trailing whitespaces.

for file in `find -s . -type f`; do

         if file -b $file | grep -q 'text'; then

                 tr -d '\r' < $file | sed -E -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//' > $file.tmp

                 mv -f $file.tmp $file
                 echo "$file: Done"

         fi

done
