Whenever I save a plain text file in WinNT and open it in FreeBSD, at the
end of every line is a "^M". How do I get rid of these? I tried writing a
little C++ program to copy all text except "^M" to another file, but it
doesn't work because C++ treats the ^ and the M as different characters,
whereas vi treats them as _one_ character. After searching the mailing
list archives, I came up with the syntax ":%s/stuff/other stuff/g" as the
oh-so-intuitive replace command in vi, and I tried it, but to no avail (it
says "no match found"). Any suggestions? Thanks,
