How do I remove the ^M from my scripts?

by  comtec17  Posted    (Edited  )
Randomly when you write a script and change something in it using Windows Notepad/Wordpad and didn't run the dos2unix command, you will get a ^M after each line of code. To remove all the ^M's at once enter the following:

vi <your file name>
When you are in the file issue a colon :))then enter the following like this

:g/^M/s// /g

To get the ^M use the control + V and m simultainously.

Now :wq your file and you should be all good.
