For Vi editor
%s/^M//g
By sed command
sed 's/^M//g' <filename>

Another way by tr command
tr -d '\r' <filename>

Hope you are looking for the same.

Thanks pankaj

i have to remove junk character from the file through a shell script .
and this script runs daily and thus we receive 100 of files .

I assume that we can not use the vi edit in shell script.

can you please tell some other way to remove these junk characters ..

I am getting the correct populated file now .
first i have removed the control m characters and then i applied the awk command to get the correct data
Code:
sed 's/^M//g' test_export2_tmp.txt|awk -F"|" '{print $2}' > fil2.txt

thanks

merge_fonts

merge_fonts(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					      merge_fonts(3alleg4)

NAME

       merge_fonts - Merges two fonts into one font. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       FONT *merge_fonts(FONT *f1, FONT *f2)

DESCRIPTION

       This function merges the character ranges from two fonts and returns a new font containing all characters in the old fonts. In general, you
       cannot merge fonts of different types (eg, TrueType fonts and bitmapped fonts), but as a special case, this function can  promote  a  mono-
       chrome bitmapped font to a color font and merge those. Example:

	  FONT *myfont;
	  FONT *myfancy_font;
	  FONT *lower_range;
	  FONT *upper_range;
	  FONT *capitals;
	  FONT *combined_font;
	  FONT *tempfont;
	  ...
	  /* Create a font that contains the capitals from  */
	  /* the fancy font but other characters from myfont */
	  lower_range = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, 'A'-1);
	  upper_range = extract_font_range(myfont, 'Z'+1, -1);
	  capitals = extract_font_range(myfancy_font, 'A', 'Z');

	  tempfont = merge_fonts(lower_range, capitals);
	  combined_font = merge_fonts(tempfont, upper_range);

	  /* Clean up temporary fonts */
	  destroy_font(lower_range);
	  destroy_font(upper_range);
	  destroy_font(capitals);
	  destroy_font(tempfont);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
       to avoid memory leaks.
