I will give you one more simple one. There is a command called dos2unix.
It takes 2 parameters; a starting file and an ending file. And the file
names can be the same. So, if you have a single file called
"Transfered.dat" which has the ^M characters in it run
dos2unix Transfered.dat Transfered.dat
If you have multiple files you can always use the find command to run it on
each of them. Lets say you have transfered 1000 .dat files over and you
need to clean them all up:
find . -name "*.dat" -exec dos2unix {} {} ;\
This will find all the *.dat files in the current directory then run the
dos2unix command on each.

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.
