I usually split on the last character using "cut" like this: <;._2 fread 'some.file'
When I feel like programming defensively, I'll ensure that the last character is LF (and remove any CRs) like this: <;._2 LF (],[#~[~:[:{:]) CR-.~]0 : 0 Four-score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. ) On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 10:26 AM, 'Pascal Jasmin' via Programming < programm...@jsoftware.com> wrote: > The spec (Fasta) can be revised to splitting on all LFs, where the first > box is the control data, and subsequent boxes are the package. > > http://rosalind.info/glossary/fasta-format/ > > If so, you can grab all of the records from the sample link with this > expression (copy records on clipboard, uses j8 clipboard access) > > cutLF each '>' cut wdclippaste '' > > The reason for the LFs in the payload as I understand it is to separate it > into processing chunks.
