You can use the utility "  dos2unix " to remove the ^M

Just type:  dos2unix <filename1> <filename2>  [RETURN]

example: *dirtyfile has a lot of ^M's in it and you want to remove them

prompt>   dos2unix dirtyfile dirtyfile [RETURN]

Just type the utility name "dos2unix" and the file which you want to clean
twice after the utility name, then press enter.

This will clean dirtyfile and give it the same name in the form of a new
file.
You can add this to a script if you like to make it more batch like.

Good Luck!

If it is the ^M that you are trying to remove, I use this script to do it:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
# This script will remover the ^M from the end of each
# line in a file.
#
# USAGE: rm_M_char <filename>
#

if [ -f $1 ]
then
   tr -d '\15' < $1 >newname
   mv newname $1
fi

Hope this helps.
