Package: vim
Version: 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1
Severity: normal


Hi, 

I have a file with ^M


I run set ff=unix as below, and those chars are still there. even after
open/close 


It could be nice that a function can do that ... a sort of embeeded call
function();

regards

here source:
  dos2unix is a commandline utility that will do this, or :%s/^M//g will
  if you use ctrl-v ctrl-m to input the ^M, or you can :set ff=unix and
  vim will do it for you.

  Docs on the 'fileformat' setting are here, and the vim wiki has a
  comprehensive page on line ending conversions.

  Alternately, if you move files back and forth a lot, you might not
  want to convert them, but rather to do :set ff=dos, so vim will know
  it's a DOS file and use DOS conventions for line endings.
