You can use sed command.
Suppose you have your text in the file "test" as follows:
^M ^Maaaa
^M ^Mbbbb
^M ^Mcccc
Then,use the foll. command:
cat test|sed 's/\^M//g'
Take care of the "\" (backspace) before ^M .Usage of "g" means replacement for all ^M
characters found on the same
line also.
"s" means substitute ^M with nothing.
man sed
for more info on usage of sed command.
