Replacing all but last Hex characters in a text line
I must remove hex characters 0A and 0D from several fields within an MS Access Table. Since I don't think it can be done in Access, I am trying here.
I am exporting a Table from Access (must be fixed length fields, I think, for my idea to work here) into a text format.
I then want to run a script that will replace all instances of hex 0A from the line .... except for the very last instance ... with some other character ... say a hex 7C
Example: If I have 20 fields within Access for a total export line length of 2000 characters, I want to replace all the hex 0A characters (which is a CR/LF character, I believe) from positions 1-1999 with hex 7C (which is shift-\).
Anybody have any creative ideas? I would very much appreciate it.
