RE: Remove the ^M Character from a Document

If you're in a Unix environment (where \n is the EOL char) you can just as easily do: perl -pi -e 's/\r//g' <file name> This works because in DOS, EOL is represented at \r\n.

What if you are in a DOS environment and you want to remove what will become the offending ^M when the file is opened in Unix? Running the search and replace doesn't do anything. You still end up with the carriage return instead of the linefeed	[reply]
