Remove Windows line endings in VIM
The Windows line endings (^M) can be easily removed with most editors. In ViM it is very easy.
To remove all windows line endings (and replace with nothing), type the following:
:%s/^V^M//g
(note that the ^V will not display).
Sometimes it is necessary to add a line break as well:
:%s/^V^M/\r/g
Partly based on a Tech Recipes article.
:%s/\r//g

Easier:
:set fileformat=unix

set fileformat didn’t work on windows.
:%s/\r//g works perfectly on windows.

If you’re running Linux, you can also install ‘tofrodos’ and run,
$ fromdos filename.txt
