In the old days with real vi, you would: :%s/^v^m// to get rid of them, but vim doesn't like that.
It depends on how Vim recognizes the file. If Vim displays the file as a DOS file, it will hide the ^M and you can't search for it. If Vim displays the file as a unix file, it will show the ^M at the end of the line and you can search and replace it with the command shown above.
Hey, thanks for all of the info on DOS and Unix file editing and all the things that CAN go wrong if you are NOT careful.
So I have been careful to stay consistant. As much as I can....
I have found that if I install CentOS on all my machines that used to run windows ... I have a fairly consistent UNIX only set of text files ...
Just one of many suggestions :)
