Re^2: Convert file to unix

What version of nvi/vim is this? A co-admin on a server insints on ftping config files back and forth between the server and his windows box where he edits the files in notepad. So all the config files have the ^M disease and opening and saving in nvi or vim does not remove the ^Ms.

In whatever flavour of vi you choose, type the following at the command (':') prompt i.e. non-visual: `s,^M,,g w!` [download] NB The '^M' (<Ctrl> <M>) char is obtained by typing <Ctrl><V><Ctrl><M>... A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l]

The parent claimed that simply resaving should remove the ^Ms	[reply]

The post to which I replied i.e. the parent of my reply (aka your post), didn't - in fact, it was claiming the opposite - which you have kindly re-affirmed. My post identified a means to achieving the goal of ridding yourself of the infernal M$ line endings in such cases. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]
