As a result of my original request, I now have half a dozen ways of doing
this using php, perl, python and tr :)
I guess this is sort of on topic because there may be PHP
programmers who want to do this without writing a PHP script that
probably has to be run by a web server.
Anyway, someone
You could replace if by ASCII code (^M is actually a representation of ASCII
013, the CR character, thanks to
http://www.mindspring.com/~jc1/serial/Resources/ASCII.html for the ASCII
lookup table.).
This should fix it (untested)

$chrnumber = 13; //this is the ascii code for ^M
$nicestring =

Perl apparently also works very nice for this
open (FILE, filename):
open (NEWFILE, filename);
WHILE (FILE) {
chomp;
print NEWFILE $_
}
close (FILE);
close(NEWFILE);
this should take care of ^M

'chomp' removes the end-of-line character(s) from its input, which is
different from doing an EOL conversion (which is what the OP was after).
The result of the below perl would be to concatenate all lines together as
one.

I am trying remove ^M characters (some kind of newline character) from an
HTML
I get this when running that command:
tr: only one string may be given when deleting without squeezing repeats
I looked at the tr man pages and it didn't help much. I also tried using
'\r' and `\r` and just \r , but always get the same result.

I don't think tr expects to receive a filename on the command line. Try:
tr -d \r oldfile.html newfile.html
