Removing ^M

[so very tired]

Easiest way to do this is with sed.
cat file.html | sed 's/^M//g' > newfile.html

the trick is you have to enter ^M as the proper control character.
You can do this at the command prompt by holding down CTRL+SHIFT and then
hitting V and M in sequence.
This should work with other control characters as well.
Hope this helps.
