set list command in vi

Question

I am trying to parse a giant log file using node.js, the file does not seem to get '\n' but when I do set list in vi it shows me '$" at the end of every line, does anyone know what that is. I means can I split a string on that.

Answer 1

I would recommend checking out your file via

cat -v -e

which will show you all unprintable characters and line endings.
