Hi there,
How about vi anyone?
:%s/^M//g
Let me explain that.
While not in insert mode hit :%s/
Then hold donw the control key and hit v (crtl +v)
This tells vi/sed that the next charater coming is a control char
While still holding down the control key hit m
then hit //g
this say replace it ith nothing globally.
I hoped that helped, please remeber if you aren't using vi you shouldn't
be using Unix :)
Ken!
