Hi all,
I think I have seen an article in knowledge base of orafaq regarding removing ctrl+m character in UNIX machine.

Can anybody give me the navigation for that?

Thanks in adv.,
Vamsi.

To remove the ^M characters at the end of all lines in vi, use:

:%s/^V^M//g

The ^v is a CONTROL-V character and ^m is a CONTROL-M. When you type this, it will look like this:

:%s/^M//g

More precisely (for end ^M char only)

Quote:

%s/^M$//g

This problem comes when you ftp a ascii txt file from windows to unix machine in binary mode. Use ascii mode to ftp so that you do not get ^M characters at all. ( this was not you wanted to know but just in case...)
