hi, the ^M are showing for me on windows xp, i tried this command %s/^M//g but it doesn’t work, as soon as i put in the ctrl-m it says it cant find the pattern, is there some difference that i have to do to get to use this command on windows?

i found this to work on windows xp
%s/\r//g
to replace all ^M with nothing in the whole file
