This colon (ed) command works in FreeBSD's included vi's
command mode:
:%s/^M//g
followed by pressing Enter
If *every* line ends with ^M (which is almost always going to be the
case, if the file has been produced on a DOS/Windows system), then
you can just use this:
:%s/.$//
to delete the last character of each line. This has an obvious
downside, but the advantages are that it's easier to type and to

Try:

Where '^' means 'control', e.g. ^V is control-V, ^M is control-M.
Control-V can be used to enter any non-printable ascii character.
