This might sound like a stupid question, but are they literally "^A", etc.,
or do you mean the character created by pressing ^A?  Because if it's the
latter, then you might be able to do something like this:

        my $string =~ s/\eA//gi;

(According to 'perldoc perlre' '\e' denotes an escape)

hi all,

I have control characters ( like ^A , ^M ) in my ascii input file 
and I want to substitute them by space or just delete them.
         Can  anyone suggest a regex for this substitution ???


Thanks
