the characters seem to be read as a linefeed.
How do I search and replace these characters in VI.
What are they?
I do know that for the EOL character I press CTRL-V and "Enter" to get ^M.
Is there a list of these characters somewhere. <82> does not seem to be "T"

Hello CaptSutter,

Welcome to forums, I hope you will enjoy learning and sharing knowledge here. Coming to your question. You could see control M characters by doing cat -v Input_file and if you want to remove control M characters from Input_file then use following command too on same(if your objective is to only remove control M characters).

Code:

tr -d '\r' < Input_file > temp_file && mv temp_file Input_file

Let me know if you have any queries on same.

Thanks,
R. Singh
