Hi, I have a good old DOS application which is still required to run. Unfortunately the PC is dying and needs to be replaced. The PC was running Windows 98 and the software was executed in a MS Dos Command line. When we would order a new PC you would ...

While the DOS application might work on Windows XP? Windows 2000 and XP can still execute MS-DOS Applications, even (32-Bit) Vista and Win7 can still run VisiCalc just fine.

You can replace the Windows line endings with :%s/\r\(\n\)/\1/g.) I don't know why, but I find that one....
Or run dos2unix on the file.
The fix is to find that one line and replace it.
, 99 are \r\n and one is \n, you'll see 99 ^M characters .

I have a zip file which extracts files with these 4 characters in the middle of the file names:
#%^%
Is there a dos command/script/Win7 app I can run that will remove these from the middle of the names quickly?

Now the substitution will replace one space followed by one whitespace of any kind (space.
What happens is that you replace ' ' with s , and then you tag to \s .
:
:%s/ /s/\n/g
You have too many /.

Sounds a bit exaggerated, found some WordStar history here
WordStar 3.0 for MS-DOS
Apr 1982
In one single all-night session Jim Fox patched the CP/M-86 version of WordStar to make it run under MS-DOS to the IBM PC by serial cable.

I'm trying
:%s/,/\n/g

What should I do?
EDIT: If you are curious, like me, check this other question as well.

With Vim on Windows use Ctrl-Q in place of Ctrl-V
Here's the trick: First... .
You need to use :%s/,/^M/g To get the ^M character, press Ctrl+V followed by ENTER
Ctrl-V pastes the contents of Windows system buffer .
\r seems to work.
Use \r instead of \n.

Of course nothing is permanent.

There are back doors if you will that allow us to get into places for.
And permanent DOS attack.
