Remove them on the mainframe. FTP does not have the ability to strip
data out. If you have Perl on your desktop, I can give you a rather
small program which will remove the data from columns 73-<end of line>.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (<>) {
chomp;
s/^(.{1,72}).*$/$1/;
s/^(.*?) *$/$1;
print $_,"\n";
}
perl noseq.pl <input.file.with.seq.numbers
>output.file.without.seq.numbers
Note that I don't say the above is the absolute best way to do this.
Somebody else could likely use "sed" or "awk" or ???
