Full Discussion: Removing cr,lf till number of fields are full
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Removing cr,lf till number of fields are full Post 302878138 by tampatim on Wednesday 4th of December 2013 04:50:11 PM

The goal would be that I can load all lines in the file and that each column/field is delimited by a pipe and each row has exactly 70 col/fields. The data has embedded cr/lf/eol in it. It came from an xls.

Thanks,
Tim
