Stripping CRLF from incoming html files

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Thanks for the input... I'll try it, but I found another solution...
well, not exactly a solution, but a work around.

the input data was originally input with

put url "http:/www.someDomain.com/aBook/verse1.html" into fld "text"
create card
put url "http:/www.someDomain.com/aBook/verse2.html" into fld "text"
create card

etc on a repeat loop. i.e. downloaded directly off the net with http.

But, if I wrote out the data to a file on OSX, and read it back in...

put fld "text" into url "file:/Users/katir/Desktop/temp.txt"
put url "file:/Users/katir/Desktop/temp.txt" into fld "text"

all my problems went away!? In fact some other invisible garbage was 
cleaned out in addition to the CRLF's... go figure...

Though the underlying issues remain mysterious,
it was faster than spending more time
testing scripting solutions.
Another great thing about Revolution.
There are a dozen ways to get the job done today.

Thanks
