Removing CRLF from text

[Martin Baxter]

How about this?

put "C:/temp/some.ini" into tFilename
put URL ("binfile:" & tFilename) into tData
put "+" & crlf into tmatchstring
replace tmatchstring with space in tData

If you read as binfile: it should stop the engine automatically
translating crlf to lf on import.
