end of line
When I transfer a text file from my non-unix
box to my Linux box, a blue ^M appears at the
end of every line. I cannot remember the way
to remove that character.
(1)Can somebody tell me how to remove that character?
When running vi, I want to insert "new line"
characters using the replace macro. It does not
work. here is the sequence that does not work...
:%s/xy/x\ny/g
(2)Can somebody help me with the syntax?
Thanks,
Charles

There is a unix2dos and a dos2unix script.
Using tr there is:
tr -d '\r' newfile
I use two alias in my ~.bashrc
alias dos2unix='recode ibmpc..lat1'
alias unix2dos='recode lat1..ibmpc'
Another method I have seen
sed "s/\r$//" FILENAME_HERE
