Re: [PLUG] Silly Emacs Question

["Luis Baars" <luisbaars@hotmail.com>]

Greg,

I deal with this almost everyday at work, except I have to put the ^Ms into 
files instead of taking them out (some weird thing with MS-DOS batch files 
needing extra embedded new line characters in order to run the batch 
file....go figure, it's Microsoft).

Another way to remove the new line characters (if you have a Windows machine 
available) is to ftp the file over to the Windows machine in binary mode, 
then ftp it back to your linux box in ascii mode.

Hope this helps.

Luis

If you edit a file under windows, then edit it under linux (vi or emacs or
whatever) you'll see those ^M s.  My favorite way of getting rid of them is
to do

cat myfile | tr -d '\r' > out
mv out myfile

You can always inspect out before you overwrite the original to make sure
you got it right.

Started using emacs and it seems to put a ^m at the end of each line.
How do I stop this?  I have a shell (tcsh) where I am setting some
environment vars (setenv) and this ^m shows up in all.   Realize this is
not strictly Linux.
