recopy your file in ascii mode, This will remove the ^M. other wise the character you are looking for is a single character not '^' + 'M' you can tell this in vi by scrolling your cursor across it, you'll note the cursor moves two spaces.
Can't remember what the unix keyboard command is to produce that char. My advice is copy and paste one from the document into your Reg ex Regards Marty ----- Original Message ----- From: "AITHA, BHEEMSEN (SBCSI)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 7:10 PM Subject: [Perl-unix-users] ^M characters > Hi, > > I had copied some files from c:\ drive on to Unix machine.
