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
read.
