# sed 's(ctrl v ctrl m)g//g' old.file > new.file

In vi do the following:

:g/^M/s///

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.
