^M This is a carriage return, usually when files are transfered from windows to unix this special character is appearing at the end of the each record.This is a Single character and It is special character. As per your previous comment, it is not alphabet 'M' and these are not two characters. It is only a single special character and it is a carriage return.
Thanks

Hi Don/nezabudka,
Code:
The above codes didn't work for the below sample data. some extra special characters added at the end of the records by using alt keys.
alt157 will write ‘¥'
alt158 will write ‘₧'
alt162 will write ó
sample data:-
some changes in the requirement
Exclude @#!$% and space from special characters. These special characters should not be replaced. remaining all other special characters and invisible characters need to be removed from the end of the record. Please do the needful
Thanks and Regards
Rakesh

edit by bakunin: are you so callous as to ignore all the requests to use CODE-tags or are you just pretending to be? 5 points infraction for blatant disregard of the code of conduct required here. That is the first infraction i give since probably 3 or 4 years. I am perhaps the most lenient of the whole moderation team but you see i can be callous too if i need to be.
We have a unix file that contains special characters (ie. Ñ, °, É, ¿ , £ , ø ). When I try to read this file I get a codepage error and the characters are replaced by the # symbol. How do I keep the special characters from being read?
Thanks.
