removes newlines from textfiles
 

Hmm..since this isn't an "i'd hit it" thread i'm not expecting to win an xbox for the longest thread of the week :Graucho

I have a dozen files and want to remove the newline (enter)
from them all..not by hand but batch wise

The newline is also the /n code but i can't seach/replace it for some reason since it somehow search for the exact same /n in the text

Would appreciate it if someone knows an editor/prog who can do this

( i can't code for shit so that won't be an option :winkwink: )

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
open(filex,"yourtextfile.txt");
@textfile = <filex>;
close(filex);
foreach $linex (@textfile) {
chomp($linex);
push(@text,$linex);
}
open(filex,">textfile.txt");
print filex @text;
close(filex);

quote the post if the code is looking funny.
something like this.

k thanks..i'll try something in perl or php since i couldn't find a regular editor who can do this strangely enough

good luck
