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.

podviewer

PODVIEWER(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     PODVIEWER(1p)

NAME

       podviewer - a Gtk2-Perl POD Reading Program

SYNOPSIS

	       podviewer [FILE|MODULE|FUNCTION|POD]

DESCRIPTION

       "podviewer" provides a simple and attractive way to read Perl's POD documentation. You can use it to read the Perl POD pages, module
       documentation and information about Perl's builtin functions.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

       "podviewer" supports a wide number of keyboard shortcuts. They are documented here.

       o   "Ctrl-U" or "Alt-Up"

	   Go up a level. That is, if you're reading the documentation for "Foo::Bar", typing "Ctrl-U" will take you to the "Foo" page.

       o   "Alt-Left"

	   Go back in your browsing history.

       o   "Alt-Right"

	   Go forward in your browsing history.

       o   "Ctrl-H"

	   Go home. If you have the "home" option set in your config (see below), entering "Ctrl-H" will take you there.

       o   "Ctrl-L"

	   This toggles the document index.

       o   "Ctrl-O"

	   This pops up a dialog allowing you to choose a document to read.

       o   "Ctrl-R" or "F5"

	   This reloads the current document.

       o   "Ctrl-Q"

	   This quits the program.

       o   "Ctrl-F"

	   This pops up a dialog for you to enter some search text.

       o   "Ctrl-G"

	   This performs the previous search, but from the most recently found result. You can also repeat the previous search by pressing enter
	   when the cursor is in the search box.

       o   "F1"

	   Loads this document.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       "podviewer" stores its configuration settings in a resource file, located at "$HOME/.podviewrc". This file contains simple "name=value"
       pairs for various things:

       o   "icon-size"

	   If you want to change the size of the icons on the toolbar, change this value. The values are standard Gtk+ stock values.

       o   "home"

	   This is the name of the document you want to be your home page. This page is loaded when you start the program without arguments, hit
	   the Home button, or type "Ctrl-H".

SEE ALSO

       o   Gtk2 or <http://gtk2-perl.sf.net/>

       o   <http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTextView.html>
