As for nulls as line breaks, you're not out of the woods yet. Try:
:let @a='[EMAIL PROTECTED]@c'
which should set @a to 'a<00>b<00>c'. Now put reg a, "apinto a
buffer. The nulls will be treated as newlines.
Now yank back all the lines into reg b, and try
:echo strtrans(@b)
A matched set of external utilities I often use in the *nix world are
"dos2unix" and "unix2dos".

Subject: ^M problems with migrating VIM from WinXP to Linux

Thank you all I got it working.
One thing that seems to be broken is the VIM tip
On http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=892
fun! InitBex()
let myvar = strftime("(%y%m%d)[%Hh%M]")
let myvar = "set backupext=_". myvar
execute myvar
echo myvar
endfun
map :call InitBex()
On my WinXP I use gvim
I wish Vim internally supported nul (00) line endings,
but alas.
You might be able to set up a before/after filter, much like
the gzip example (":help gzip-example"), using tr, of the form
tr '\000\012' '\012\000'
This will swap all NUL characters in the file and 0x0A
(octal 012) ch
Hi Eric,
Do this to see which line-endings the buffer is associated with...
:set ff?
Do this to change them...
:set ff=unix
:wq
For info...
:help 'fileformat
On WinXP, I strictly use the unix (0A) line endings, I do not use mac (0D)
or dos (0D 0A). I wish Vim internally supported nul (00) l

I want to remove the ^M on my WinXP machine and then copy
them over again to my linux machine.
This is the ever-popular line-break-delimiter problem.
If you do
:set ff?
Vim will likely currently come back with "dos".
You should be able to solve it by executing
:set ff=unix

:h fileformat
You set it to whichever one you want to use at the time.

Hi,
I'm using VIM on WinXP and want to move my files now also to Linux.
I copied the files and VIM reads in my .vimrc.
It comes up with a bounce of errors all related to ^M.
When I open this file on my WinXP I don't see them.
What do I need to do to make these ^M also visible on my WinXP machine
