Hi! I received a text file with tab-separated values. However, the entire file is displayed in one line and vim shows ^M symbols all over the text, which are U+000d characters (CR).
I ran a search-replace to replace them with <CTRL-V><CR> and the file displays as it should. But what's the cause? Is the file malformed? I thought CR is the usual way of encoding a line ending. What do I need to change to make vim display the file correctly without changing it? What system might have saved the file? Usually I never have any problems opening files from Windows or Mac.
