^M character in the log file
Hi ..

when i am running the following simple script, i am getting the log file as ""test1.log?"", there is a ^M charater. I dont know why it is generating like that.

when i tried to replace the ^M character, it is saying there is no pattern like that.
:%/ctrlV ctrlM//g (pattern not found).

Can anyone suggest me how can i get rid of that charater?

Code:
TEST_VAR='HELLO WORLD'
PROC='testproc'
sqlplus apps/sup3rm5n@fmsdev3 << EOF > test1.log
set serveroutput on size 200000
whenever sqlerror continue
set echo on
exec dbms_output.put_line('$TEST_VAR');
exit;
EOF
