Hi
No, I'm not rewriting anything. Its simply a large text file where the first 2 columns are separated by a TAB and I want to substitute that for a single space.

My remark was more specifically for ^M at end of line...
Let me think a bit for the 2 columns...

OK,
substitution of <Tab> by <SpaceBar> works fine in vi using %s/press tab/one space/
:%s/ / /

thanks for this.
Problem is, I need a global substitution /g but ONLY for the first 2 columns. So I need to identify these in the pattern

Any ideas?
