Find & Replace non-printable characters in vim
http://durgaprasad.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/find-replace-non-printable-characters-in-vim/
1) Find hexa value of that non-printable character. Move your cursor to that character and press ‘ga’.
2) In escape mode, execute this ‘:%s/\%x85/\r/gc’. In my case, hexadecimal value of that non-printable character is 85. I replaced that with ‘\r’.
