Hi,
I've got to delete extra RETURN characters on each line to reduce the number
of page breaks. When I issue this code it works only with the trace command.
Whatever the combination I've tried it doesn't seem to work. Please help.
try this:
on StripExtraReturns txt
repeat while true
off = offset(return & return,txt)
if off then
put return into char off to off+1 of txt
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
return txt
end
It reduces any series of returns to one return
member("foo").text = stripExtraReturns(member("foo").text)
I don't know how fast it is, but it solves the OP's problem.
