How to remove <0d> with vim?

[wing]

Hi,

I have downloaded a file from Unix and try to edit it in windows with
vim. However, the new line charachers for unix is not the same as
that of windows.

In windows vim, i see the character <0d>. How to remove it with one
command in vim?

I have tried to search the character with /^V13 and /^x0d but fails.

Thanks in advance for any ideas and inputs.

I think 0d is 13 which is \r. But it sounds like you might have a
macintosh file; unix uses only 0a (10 or \n).

Yes, but vim can change that. If you edit a Unix file (LF only) and you
want to change it to a Windows file (CR-LF), use

:set fileformat=dos

To remove all extra carriage returns:

:%s/^V^M//g

(That's ctrl-V ctrl-M).

In vim 6.x with the Windows cut-and-paste keys turned on, use Ctrl-Q
instead of Ctrl-V.
