Simple? Search replace

in vi, if i type ctrl-J, i can shift the next line up to the current line.
I need to do this whenever a specific string exists (in particular ^M) ,however i have not been able to find a way to do this in vi, sed, or awk

seems simple enough.

can someone help me?

thanks in advance
