We use a shareware product textpad. You can get it from www.zdnet.com Once there search for: textpad. It is extremely useful for looking at part binary part text files (like an EDI document). It will wrap the file for you and do other nice things like give you hex values for tags, etc. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Automatic digest processor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 04, 2000 2:00 AM To: Recipients of EDI-L digests Subject: EDI-L Digest - 1 Aug 2000 to 3 Aug 2000 (#2000-176) There are 7 messages totalling 297 lines in this issue.

In other words I have a customer who is not to familiar with EDI and I send a test document (so they can look at) on a CD and the document, once in the standard look of ANSI, gets wrapped and the customer can not read it. Any suggestions would be useful.

What do you mean by "wrapped"? Wrapped with an EDI envelope or line wrapped? If it's line wrap, your customers editor should have an option to turn wrap on and off. If it's because of CR/LF at the end of each line, those may be stripped using a global find and replace. If it's an EDI envelope, there's nothing you may do other than delete it. Hope this helps.

I use MS Word when I need to eyeball the records, replacing paragraph mark with null, then replacing segment delimiter with segment delimiter plus paragraph mark.

We have a Windows utility, DMXSPLIT, which can take a file containing EDI interchanges (X12, EDIFACT or TDI) and display it on a segment per line basis. Double clicking on a segment will then show it broken down on an element/subelement basis. If run with arguments in can do a few other things too. it can be downloaded as: http://www.edimatrix.demon.co.uk/d32/dmxsplit.zip You will also need to download a minimal regedit script, which should be used as the argument for REGEDIT, or just double click on the downloaded file with Windows explorer, in order to convince it that it has been part of a DMX installation: http://www.edimatrix.demon.co.uk/d32/dmxlmreg.reg Documentation is in: http://www.edimatrix.demon.co.uk/document/utility.zip This may, or may not, be what you want. We have a similar utility for CSV files as well, since I used *always* to lose count when trying to locate parameters in them!

EDI data is a string, that's why all of the various delimiters are necessary. Just open your wrapped EDI file in any text editor. Find the segment terminator character and replace it with the paragraph. That should do the trick in terms of trying to keep a segment per line. However, some segments may wrap a line as well.

I have also created shortcuts to this and instructed my PaperFree clients to use it to "Open" edi. Very powerful and simple to use. It is by far one of the best ones I have used IMHO, and much quicker and simpler than "Search/Replace". >From: Anthony Whitehead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: editor >Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 09:19:55 -0500 > >All, > >Does anyone know of an editor that can open a wrapped EDI document in the >correct ANSI format?
