Re: Shell script will not run, permission denied

When I get those after editing files from Windows, I run the following in vi :

:%s/.$//g

Problem is, there is never one of those ^M on the last line, so that char gets whacked.

I don't know what the above will do if they are not visible.

To make the ^Ms visible in vim, you can use :e ++ff=unix. Then you can delete them like regular characters.

There's also a command line tool called dos2unix, which removes carriage returns from files automatically.

Very helpful guys. Thanks for the help, and the patience as I am no UNIX guru.
