From the vim manual :
You can use the 'fileformat' option to convert from one file format to
another. Suppose, for example, that you have an MS-DOS file named README.TXT that you want to convert to UNIX format. Start by editing the MS-DOS format
file:
        vim README.TXT

Vim will recognize this as a dos format file. Now change the file format to
UNIX:

        :set fileformat=unix
        :write

The file is written in Unix format.

http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/usr_23.html

unix, dos, and mac are the options available for fileformat

Hope that helps,
-Matt

Hey all,

I'm doing something similar to a cart, but instead of a checkout process I'm saving things to a file on the server and offering it for download. The problem is that the newlines aren't quite what I need them to be.

When the created file is opened in Gvim, all looks well, but when I try the same with Notepad, there's an ugly symbol (a capital V above a capital T) at the end of every line.

This apparently has to do with the differences between Unix and Dos newlines (\n vs \r\n, respectively), but I've been unable to figure it out.

Advice?

Thanks in advance.
