removing ^M from a csv file

Question

I have a problem when I try to remove ^M from a csv

When I type vim or vi file.csv, I get

A, TK,2015-04-06,14.4^M,14.7,10.0,0.0,54.0^M,13.3^M,135.0^M         


        

Answer 1

You can try:

perl -pE 's/(\^M|\r)//g' < file >file2

should remove

• the literal ^M - sequence of two characters ^ and M
• and the ^M as \r character.
