Full Discussion: Pattern to replace ^M and ^Y in a 4.2 AIX text file
Operating Systems AIX Pattern to replace ^M and ^Y in a 4.2 AIX text file Post 302318406 by Browser_ice on Thursday 21st of May 2009 12:47:17 PM
Old 05-21-2009
I tried the combinations below which do not change anything or are not recognized

\n
\^m
\^Y
Ctrl-V + Ctrl-M
Ctrl-V + Ctrl-Y => nothing is typed in the console, I have to do a Ctrl-C to get out
\x0D$
\xC1$
[^M^Y]
[^M]
[^Y]
\c[m => not recognized

sed 's/.$//' does remove the ^M at the end of each line but then it is still a multi-line format. Its like removing the last character of each line but keeping the end-of-line linefeed.

[added comments]
Is there a way to find out in VI what is the ascii value of the character under the cursor ?
It would help me identify the right decimal value to use in a replacement string.

[added comments]
I found out that ^M is actually \015. So I can remove it with tr -d '\015'
But I still haven't found out what ^Y is.
