Convert Mac to Unix line endings in VI (See related posts)

If you open a text file in VI and see one big line with lots of '^M' where the line endings are supposed to be, use this command to fix it.
(Enter the the ^M by hitting ctrl-v and then the return key.)

:1,$s/^M/\r/g

FWIW, here is a slightly easier to remember version:

%s/\r/\r/g


%
is shorthand for 1,$, and as odd as it looks you can use 
\r
for both sides of the substitution and it works. This way, you don't have to remember Control-V.
