How do i remove the ^M^M's from my file? 5

[farley99]

I copied a file from windows to linux and it is filled with ^M^M's
How do i remove the ^M^M's from my file?

Can i do it with a search and replace?

When I'm editing on the command line, I use joe.

In joe, when you are entering a search term and hit backtick ("`", to the left of the "1" key on my keyboard), joe asks you for the ASCII code for a character rather than a character ("``" will search for a backtick). I tell it "013" then replace it with nothing.

Just ftp the file over again using ASCII mode. If you don't have it on the Windows box, ftp it back in binary mode and then ftp it to unix in ASCII mode.

Thanks....
i used this method.....
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.

Why is it...
:g/^M/s// /g

Shouldn't it be
:%s/^M/ /g
?
