You can use \r instead of ^V^M on the right side of a s///. It's a little quicker to type, at least for me :)

i just use sed or occasionally perl for tasks like this.

sed is often overlooked these days, but this is precisely the sort of task it's good at.

David: ^M will catch EOL characters from all platforms, so I tend to use it instead of '\r'. But yeah, in this case that'd work.

Andrew: I tend to use perl, but not usually sed. I was just trying to learn a little more vim.
