I don't understand your comment. There was no rationale. That is
just what the ASCII characters are used for and a little of the history
of how

There seems to be considerable confusion in this thread between
keystrokes and the codes they produce.
Most modern keyboards report some form of scan code fo
well I am pressing control-J for return not control-M so I dont
understand your rationale.

They are ASCII characters. For example, the ^M you wanted to get
rid of is CTRL-M.There are ASCII tables in various places.

The nice thing about that method is that it'll work for odd charac
Thanks Peter,
where is the logic here? What is control-q for and what is control-j
for? I am trying to figure out how I could have figured that out.
also is there a better page than the one I am using below to figure all
these keystrokes out?

control-q control-j
___

this is the best answer. Hits it right on the head of what I want.
What if I want the character to replace the ^M with a new line what do I
enter in the replace field?

This is probably "MS-DOS" type text file. MS text file lines

There is a program in ports called unix2dos. With it comes the command
dos2unix that automatically goes through the specified file and removes
all of the ^M

Open the file in Emacs with:

Put a mark right before the character (control-space) move to right
after the character and cut the character (control-w). Move to the top
of the document (esc-<) and start a "query replace" (esc-%). Yank in
Hi there,
It appears that a text editor placed a bunch on ^M throughout a text
file I am working with. I assure this is equivalent to eh keystroke
control-M.
How might I get emacs to search replace
also is there a mail list focused specifically on emacs usability?
please refer me to it?
