I am using Vim editor and when I open the my file, I get some stray characters as shown below:

^M^Mtypedef enum

This is not giving any compilation problem. But it looks absurd while I look at code.

Before I deliver the code, I want to remove these stray characters. Please suggest a way.

Additional INFO:

When I am using source insight to open the files, the special characters are not displayed, but the the colours of the variables are being shown wrong, e.g. for an enum type variable, generally source insight shows blue, but because of these stray chars, which are shown as a space, the colour is being shown as green. If I remove the extra space (actually an ^M,) the colour is properly displayed.

    dos2unix as suggested by most, did not work for me. Finally i did a simple thing. Copied the whle code, pasted inside a text file. Copied it from there once agin and replaced it again in my source code. This did work..!!
