I use some programs to produce a file, say text.txt with content
This is
the
file.
and I want to use GAP to manipulate it. In order to do that I
open the file and write
u:="This is
the
file.";;
Then I save the file and run
perl -e 'while (<>) { if (! /\|$/ ) { chomp; } print ;}' text.txt > text.out
in order to remove line breaks.
Finally I open a GAP session and write
gap> READ("text.out");
to get my original file in the string u.
However:
1. the original files are very very big. It might take hours to reach the
end of the file using the scroll of nano or pico. So I have been
transfering the files to a Windows machine and use a word processor to
reach the end (and put ";; ). Then send the file back to the unix machine.
2. I have dozens of files of this kind...
Therefore I would be very grateful if someone could help me devise a
faster and more automatic way to put the original text.txt file into a
GAP string.
Many thanks,
Joao
