Yes i’m geek and i’m using VI. I found tons of ^M’s in wordpress files while i was coding this blog.

Here’s how to get rid of them:

Open your file in vi

# vi file.php

then press “:” and type this:

:%s/[ctrl+v][ctrl+m]//g

[ctrl+v] … hold control and press v
[ctrl+m] … hold control and press m

Voila, there’s no more ^M’s and your code is clean in the way it should be!
