Yeah, \r should translate to the ^M character...

I can't remember, but if you had multiple ^M characters, then try removing
them with \r\r or something like that...

It stands for "Carriage Return Linefeed".  That is the VMS/OpenVMS way of
ending a line.  In DOS/Windows, it is just carriage return.  In Unix, it
is just linefeed.

So your problem is that you have both the DOS and Unix line ends.  So unless
you have an OpenVMS system, you need to remove the carriage return.
