Editing adapter profiles on the UNIX or Linux operating system

The adapter profile .jar file might contain ASCII files that are created by using the MS-DOS ASCII format.

About this task

If you edit an MS-DOS ASCII file on the UNIX operating system, you might see a character ^M at the end of each line. These characters indicate new lines of text in MS-DOS. The characters can interfere with the running of the file on UNIX or Linux® systems. You can use tools, such as dos2unix, to remove the ^M characters. You can also use text editors, such as the vi editor, to remove the characters manually.

Example

You can use the vi editor to remove the ^M characters. From the vi command mode, run the following command and press Enter:
:%s/^M//g
When you use this command, enter ^M or Ctrl-M by pressing ^v^M or Ctrl V Ctrl M sequentially. The ^v instructs the vi editor to use the next keystroke instead of issuing it as a command.
