All I did is,
vi filename --> esc --> :%s/^v^m//g --> enter

Your attitude is unnecessary and not conducive to the sharing environment being attempted to be created here..

I found dos2unix run against mysql slow log caused log to stop accruing entries. This forced me to restart mysql to restore slow log entries.

I know that ^M comes when we transfer a file from windows machine to a Unix machine from Telnet.

At first place what is the harm in having ^M characters? Is it going to cause any kind of issues by letting them just around? Just curious to know.

Hi,

Remove the last line from a txt file.

I have txt file with data like
1235 5678
3455 5678

and after 2nd line I pressed the enter. I tried to remove that enter in using many unix commands. but in unix I think it doesnt consider it as new line as when I check wc -l it gives me 2 but when I send this file to my C function it is considered as 3rd line.
Please telme the work around to remove the last line.

Thanks,
Leena

More likely you don't know how to use vi.

Lopezscu — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:21:21 -0000

correct answer is
:%s/{Ctrl+V}{Ctrl+M}//{Enter}

where {Ctrl+V }{Ctrl+M} stands for, you must press Ctrl+V and then Ctrl+M
