I recently had to deal with something like this when our mainframe would *sometimes* embed an EOF char in the line output stream.... took me 4 months to trap that one.... argh.... So prolly the most straightforward way is as described; bring the file contents into a string var, STRTRAN the thing to remove the unwanted char(s) with something you can more easily deal with (such as pipe "|") or just remove it altogether, then proceed with the APPEND. -- Matt Jarvis Eugene, Oregon USA _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/capt54rbzdnh_jzdb01opdtmfsxkzk0kw-c79uamanvpgg+g...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
