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.
OK, but what would convince vim to display files with ^M's as unix files? I thought it took their presence as the hint to display in DOS mode.
