I have files with the ^M character in the vim editor. To delete that character I'm using :%s/r/r/g based on this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12614243/9759150 (Question: How to convert the ^M linebreak to 'normal' linebreak in a file opened in vim?), and it works!



But doing this file by file is a tedious task, so I would like to do with a command, and I thought in the sed command.



I have tried the following:



sed -i '%s/r/r/g' *


But I got sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command:%'`



Then, I have tried this:
sed -i 's/r/r/g' * and I got no errors but when I open the files with vim I see the ^M characters.



Edit with an example:



The related post for a "possible duplicate question" (Remove carriage return in Unix) removes the r but I need to keep it. The only thing I need to change is the ^M character for a rone.



The original file is:
enter image description here



When I open vim and use :%s/r/r/g, the result is the desired:
enter image description here



But with the sed -i 's/r/r/g' * command, has not effect and the result is like the first image.
And using sed -i 's/r//g' * (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/41461947/9759150) the result is:
enter image description here
It can be seen that it does remove the ^M characters but I cannot get the same result as in vim.

  • % is vim (more precisely, ed/ex) specific: "all lines". Sed defaults to operating on all lines, so you don't need % there. For everything else, see the linked duplicate.
