Title: Unwanted characters when i do "vi" on .js files
Post by: getk on June 17, 2013, 05:01:36 AM

hi admin,
I downloaded easyui v1.3.3 in Windows PC, uploaded using "binary" mode to my unix machine.
I extracted using "unzip" command.

But when i "vi" the files, I can see some unwanted characters at the start of these files.

Code:

Is this an issue or am I doing anything incorrect?

Due to the '\r\n' characters in each lines of the file, you will find '^M' when open this file using vi. There are several ways to remove ^M from a file in unix. The easiest way is to type this command: % sed -e "s/^M//" filename > newfilename

^M characters seem to be ok.

I was worried about the
