Sorry if I'm taking this too far, but I sometimes get those ^M characters in files when I FTP in the wrong mode (ascii vs. binary). If this file has been recently transferred to your Unix box, try re-FTPing it in a different mode and those ^M characters may go away.

If this doesn't apply to you, just ignore my ramblings and use one of the many good solutions provided to remove the offending character.

HTH, John D.
