--5LiOUhUlsRX0HDkW Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If *every* line ends with ^M (which is almost always going to be the case, if the file has been produced on a DOS/Windows system), then you can just use this: :%s/.$// to delete the last character of each line. This has an obvious downside, but the advantages are that it's easier to type and to read. --=20 Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg@wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | --5LiOUhUlsRX0HDkW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAE+5rkAkqAYpL9t8RAnBDAKCSys/NasLgDNhfgIlMm+nBlQSDfwCgjrdo /Ric5PWc4xhRl1vnsIQqrB8= =wAJH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5LiOUhUlsRX0HDkW--
