Windows files has line feed and carriage return. When such files are copied to *nix like OS, vim / vi shows ^M characters at the end of each line.
To get rid of those ^M use:
1,$ s/^M//gc
or
% s/^M//gc
To type ^M hit ctrl+v first and then M.
<< Wrap a Visual hilight in an arbitrary HTML tag |
convert between C /* */ comments and C++ // comments >>

Note that, for people using Vim with Windows keybindings, CTRL-V is (naturally) the paste operation;
so, to produce a ^M, you have to type CTRL-Q then CTRL-M
