Then use powershell
In one line from outside of powershell, with a different output file
powershell -command "[IO.File]::WriteAllText('output.txt',([IO.File]::ReadAllText('input.txt') -replace '\$\r\n', ''))"
From inside powershell replacing the original file
$file = 'input.txt'
$text = [IO.File]::ReadAllText($file) -replace '\$\r\n', ''
[IO.File]::WriteAllText($file, $text)
If the use of powershell is blocked, but you can run cscript.exe, then I have a small JScript script that can to string replace http://www.ztw3.com/upfile/strreplace.zip, use like this
type input.txt | cscript.exe //nologo strreplace.wsf "\$\n" "" g > output.txt
