Hello,

Another way, you could use "dos2unix /filename/" command. It will clean non-printable characters.

Regards.

The file was never on a win machine here. I opened the file with
kwrite
and vi and don't see the ^M in the text.


They _are_ there or you wouldn't see the error. The problem is that it's
not a printable character (carriage return) so kwrite and vi just aren't
showing it. Try 'vi -b filename'. That will put vi in binary mode which
will display everything in the file as a printable character (^M for
[CTRL-M] in this case). vim, often used as a replacement for vi these
days, seems to be better at automatically setting binary mode when
necessary from my experience.
