Hi,

There are 3 solutions (possibly more)

1. within vi, type the following:

:1,$s/^V^M//

Note that the key sequence is CTRL+V and CTRL+M, only the "^M"
will appear on screen.

2. Use the tr command:

tr -d \\015 < filename > newfilename

3. Use the dos2ux utility:

dos2ux filename > newfilename

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW

Also, one can use "string" utility that comes with unix.

STRING STRIPPING

Remove all ^M and other control
characters from file ABC

strings ABC > ABC-good
