This colon (ed) command works in FreeBSD’s included vi’s
command mode:
:%s/^M//g
followed by pressing Enter. The ^M (or Ctrl-M) typed to
show it here should actually be entered by pressing ^v
^M in sequence. (The ^v preface tells vi to use the next
keystroke literally instead of taking it as a command.)
In a slight variation you can take advantage the
replacement field in the substitution (which I left blank)
to produce a blank line between the original lines –
useful when the ^M marks the paragraph breaks:
:%s/^M/^M/g
It looks redundant, but after playing with the first version
you’ll probably see what’s going on.
