This is a good vi incantation (NB The ^V is only there to allow you to put in the ^M. The ^V doesnt show in the final command line, so dont panic that you cant see it)
:g/^V^M/s///g ie g/^V^M/ - find a ^M (any one will do, you dont need to be at the file start) s/// - substitute nothing for the ^M just found g - do this to all other ^M's mjt -- "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."
