Hi,
I want to get some files from noEmacs-windows-editors into Linux GNU
Emacs Editor.
But you cannot work because of "strange" return-commands from windows
in these files (-> ^M ).
How it's possible to remove/replace these commands with Emacs or any
other tools in Unix-Systems ?
(with the Emacs-replace-function you cannot find ^M)
Thanks for Help,
Martin

Those are carriage return characters (decimal value 13). If you were searching for an up arrow (shift 6) followed by an M emacs will not match that with a carriage return.
Try this to match them: C-Q C-M
This will insert a carriage return character into the search string.
I have seen much discussion on removing these from a buffer. I am certain that there are many packages available to do this. Since I wrote my own function before I discovered emacs packages I have not paid much attention to them. You might want to take a look at the packages list at http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/. Or you could look in the archives of this list. (My function is not quite ready for primetime).

I made a keyboard macro out of this which removes all ^M and saves the file.
;strip MS-DOS carriage return from file thus:
;1. goto top of file, 2. S-M-% C-Q C-M <RET> <RET> ! 3. C-x s
(fset 'stripCR
[home ?\M-% ?\C-q ?\C-m return return ?! ?\C-x ?\C-s])
(global-set-key [f11] 'stripCR)

For RedHat & Cygwin the dos2unix utility works nicely. When uploading bash
scripts (for instance) from an M$ box to a RH Linux box, I run...
dos2unix -k *.sh
...and that removes the carriage returns from all scripts ending in '.sh'.
Other *nix OSes use something else as I noticed in a post in this
group some time in the past month.

Many people use perl to do this. The perl script is about 3 lines long
(actually, you can probably do it in one line).
I'm wondering though - perhaps you can achieve the desired behavior by
playing around with the various coding style settings? I have'nt tried
it, but it may be worth looking at.
