Modifying a unix file in windows

I faced an issue when I modified the unix file in windows using cygwin; it was throwing an error.
I searched some where and found the following way is simple to do it.
This issue is because of the special characters which will be created when we edit a unix file in cygwin.
To remove dos2Unix issues in cygwin need to do the following in the vi editor.

:e ++ff=dos
:w ++ff=unix
:e!

Once these commands executed, just quit the file and all the additional characters added will be removed. There are other ways to do it. But I felt it is simple and want to share.
