The ^M that you are talking about here are not two characters. Its actually a control character. Use 'ctrl-V ctrl-M' to get the actual character. Try this in vi:

:%s/ctrl-Vctrl-M//g

you could try following command.
dos2unix -ascii -437 <YOUR FILENAME> <YOUR FILENAME>

above command will convert your file from dosformatted text to UNIX one.
-ascii will tell command to use ascii charset and -437 to use US keyboard.

If there are multiple text files in your TEST directory then you could try following command

find . -type f -exec -- 'dos2unix -ascii -437' {} {} \;

Thanks. It worked for me. I really appreciate your efforts and heartly thankful to you for solving my problem and also to unix.com forums. It really works.

One more thing at last, by this way I need to open all the files which may be in same sub-folders for changing all files. IS there any way to operate it or dos2unix command for all files in the same folder and in sub-folders in
one command action.

thanks neeraj,
but sorry to say that the later option of using find command is not working. And moreover the problem with first option is that I need to dos2unix each file . I mean I cant change all files of even same type by using following command:-
dos2unix -ascii -43 *.cc

Although dos2unix -ascii -43 test1.cc test1.cc is working.

Any other details in this regard which may prove helpful to me?

Thanks to all of you who have take your time again. I got my problem solved in the way I was looking for, i.e., a single command worked for me which did the dos/window to unix format transformation in a single command for all the files in a folder and sub-folders.
It is find . -type f -print | xargs -I {} dos2unix -ascii {} {}

Cheers !!!!
