Re: get rid of carriage return in vi

[John . Dailey]

Sorry if I'm taking this too far, but I sometimes get those ^M characters
in files when I FTP in the wrong mode (ascii vs. binary).   If this file
has been recently transferred to your Unix box, try re-FTPing it in a
different mode and those ^M characters may go away.

If this doesn't apply to you,  just ignore my ramblings and use one of the
many good solutions provided to remove the offending character.

HTH,

John D.
