thanks Tony.
however I think I need a way to just "not display" instead of modifying
the file -- it might need to be shared with other people working in
other OS..
thanks anyway.
FYI attached is a file of mine with ^M displayed on beginning&ending of
each line.
a :%/\r//g will clear all ^M and make it looks clean...but I'm not sure
how it will display in windows..
regards

My file have both...see following screenshot:
after :e ++ff=dos the trailing ^M disappear, but the preceding one is
still there, see screenshot below:
is there a way to also not display that?
thanks.

^M anywhere other that at end-of-line (in a file from other than Mac
OS9 or earlier) is not part of an end-of-line marker.
It is sometimes used when displaying a progress bar, to move the
cursor back to the left margin without advancing the «typewriter
paper» so that the line just displayed can be overwritten.
You might try the following:
1) :e ++ff=dos
should erase any end-of-line ^M. Only one if there are several
together.
2) :%s/.*\r//e
should erase the last ^M (if there is one) on any line, plus
everything preceding it on the same line. No change to lines without a
^M. No error if no lines at all with a ^M.
Best regards,
Tony.
