Re-2: Removing CRLF from text

[mfstuart at cox.net]

Hi all,

I’ve tried all replies to this issue and the one that works is from Martin Baxter, using:
    put URL ("binfile:" & tFilename) into tData
    put tData into fld “Original”  --this results in displaying a “box” character at the end of each line

    --now look for the set of string characters that I want to remove
    put "+" & CRLF into tmatchstring   --the order that the string you’re looking for is important
    replace tmatchstring with space in tData
    replace " " with empty in tData   --the replace character is the last char of each line from the “Original” field. I copied this character into the script
    --place the result into a field for display
    put tData into fld "Changed"

>From my “Changed” field (the result of the script), I copied the text from it, saved it with Notepad and viewed the file with a Hex Editor.

    The characters at the end of each line are:
    (Hex=0d0d0a) which is 13 13 10

    RunRev translation:
    cr cr lf

    Remember, this is all from using…
    put URL ("binfile:" & tFilename) into tData

>From the saved file above, I used it as the ini file for the software application, and the application works with it – no problem.

The net result is, this works using: put URL (“binfile:”….. when trying to do what I need to do …
… bring “broken” INI entries into one line, per ini entry.

Thanx all for your interesting responses. 

It shows how awesome, diverse and I might say in a nice way, indulgent, each RunRev developer is.

Regards,
Mark Stuart
