Just curious, :%s/\r//g works but :%s/\r\n/\n/g does not, why is that?

I am trying ti get the diff of a file into a temp.txt file.
When I do :%s/^M//g in my file, it says "Pattern not Found: ^M".
But when I see the temp.txt file for the diff it shows ^M on all the lines.
Help me out for this, I dont want ^M in temp.txt file

another way to get rid of those ^M's
:%s/\r//g
btw other systems then *nix are treating newlines differently :P

You could try using sed, the stream editor - it works on similar principles to vi's replace tool, but you can pipe into and out of it.

So, to change one file:
cat fileName | sed s/<ctrl-v><ctrl-m>//g >tmp && mv tmp fileName

Do NOT try to read from and write to the same file in one pipe, or you'll blank the file

To change all files in a directory with the .sql ending, run the following script whilst inside that directory:
#/bin/ksh
for fileName in $(ls *.sql); do
cat $fileName | sed s/^M//g >tmp && mv tmp $fileName
done

(bear in mind to enter ^M you need to enter <ctrl-v><ctrl-m> as above.

Hope that helps people
