You could use sed, something like:-
sed 's/^M$//' file.txt > newfile.txt (Ctrl-v, then enter for ^M character)
or if the record-length's always going to be invariable, you could use cut.

calendar - reminder service
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
consults the file in the current directory and prints out lines containing today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the line. On weekends,
``tomorrow'' extends through Monday.
When a command-line argument is present, searches for the file in each user's home directory, and sends any positive results to the user by
(see mail(1)). Normally this is done daily in the early morning hours under the control of (see cron(1M)). When invoked by reads the
first line in the file to determine the user's environment.
Language-dependent information such as spelling and date format (described below) are determined by the user-specified statement in the
file. This statement should be of the form where language is a valid language name (see lang(5)). If this line is not in the file, the
action described in the section is taken.
is concerned with two fields: month and day. A month field can be expressed in three different formats: a string representing the name of
the month (either fully spelled out or abbreviated), a numeric month, or an asterisk (representing any month). If the month is expressed
as a string representing the name of the month, the first character can be either upper-case or lower-case; other characters must be lower-
case. The spelling of a month name should match the string returned by calling (see nl_langinfo(3C)). The day field is a numeric value
for the day of the month.
Month-Day Formats
If the month field is a string, it can be followed by zero or more blanks. If the month field is numeric, it must be followed by either a
slash or a hyphen If the month field is an asterisk it must be followed by a slash The day field can be followed immediately by a blank or
non-digit character.
Day-Month Formats
The day field is expressed as a numeral. What follows the day field is determined by the format of the month. If the month field is a
string, the day field must be followed by zero or one dot followed by zero or more blanks. If the month field is a numeral, the day field
must be followed by either a slash or a hyphen If the month field is an asterisk, the day field must be followed by a slash

variable contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See environ(5).
