[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro script problem

That's because it isn't cntrl-v "m" it's cntrl-v "return".
That will give you a real "return" to search for.
Try it it will amaze and astound you.
Vim, it is what real editing is all about.

Thanks for the response Chris, but I can't seem to get it to work.  I'm on
W2K and using Vim as my editor.

It won't accept the "%", but I tried ":s/^M//".  It says "Pattern not found:
^M" even though I'm looking at a bunch of them in the file.  I used the two
characters "^" and "M" in the search and replace.  When I try to use
"[CNTL-V][m]" it doesn't work either.  In the file, it sees the "^M" as one
character.
