Replacing carriage return ^M with Enter

Question

I know how to remove ^M in my files (%s/^M//g), but this one is just one line I\'d like to replace ^M with enter... what\'s the enter char

Answer 1

:%s/\r//g only works when:

• set ff=unix, which when done, automatically converts all CRLF to LF

• set ff=dos and CR is a rogue char that is not preceded by LF, e.g., inserted with C-V C-M.

  CR in LF CR pairs will not be found.

Therefore, if all you want is to convert every LF CR to LF, you should use:

:set ff=unix
:w
