Brian, To remove single quotes from a file you can use either : with perl @ command prompt: perl -p -i -e 's/\'//g' filename
or unix tr: tr -d '\047' <filename >newfilename Terry E.

I am in the process of implementing the INVOIC transaction with a customer who requires the Syntax level A which uses ' as the segment terminator. Unfortunately, I have numerous ' in my product descriptions and am looking for the right way to strip these characters from the description in the IDOC prior to translation. I've looked through the Sterling Commerce KB and the documentation and so far have not found any solution. I believe we could write a script in the Unix environment to change or remove the characters in the description. I'm looking to confirm if this is the right solution and if so, has anyone already done this or something similar that could share their script with me. Thank you, Brian Leist Linde Gas LLC .
