Dos2Unix conversion

Hello my fellow Emacs users!

This snippet should give you the abiility to remove those ^M characters you get from time to time if you do much emacs work relating to Windows systems. If the first argument in search-forward doesn't copy over right, it can be inserted with C-q C-m.

Have fun!


(defun remove-dos-line-endings () 
"Removes those pesky ^M from a buffer"
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion 
    (goto-char 0) 
    (while (search-forward " " nil t) 
             (replace-match "" nil t))))
