Detect file format with grep.

$ grep '^M'  your-file-name

^M is Ctrl-V + Ctrl-M. If the grep returns any line, the file is in DOS format.

Detect file format with vim.

1) Open the file with vim.

2) Use the vim set command to show the file format.

:set ff?

The command returns fileformat=<dos/unix/mac> to indect current file format.
