I have about 12 files that I am pulling for a SCO box to a RedHat box, FTP. THe files from the SCO box are poorly formatted with extraneous whitespace (sometimes as much as 30 or more) before and after the text. I need to parse all of the files I DL and put them into a new file with "_nice" added at the end.
The files are all pipe-delimited, so I don't have a problem separating the fields, I just am not sure how to make it remove all extra whitespace. It needs to keep all Space in the fields " the description of the file " should still be readable as "the description of the file" Any help with code examples? I have been looking through a beginning book and my old code and have come up nil. Thanks, Robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
