gedit and vim
When I edit a file in gedit and then open it in vim editior from terminal, I see some stray character ^M at the end of each line of the file when viewed in vim.
Can any one suggest a fix for this problem?
THanks in advance

Easiest fix is to not use gedit. I do not know of any way to stop gedit from adding the control character to the file. One way to remove them would be to use dos2unix.

I've never experienced this when using gedit. This should only be a problem when editing files that were created on a windows machine.

I was thinking this but because I don't use gedit I couldn't say this for sure. Who know the files might have had this all along.
