Is there such a beast? I often have the same situation: the LF's turn up as garbage characters at the end or beginning of each line. I use a program called "Add/Strip" version 2.0 (I believe). It will do what you want, among other things. Another option is to use Microsoft Word, and enter the ascii code of the LF into the find/replace box and replace it with nothing. In other words, put ^## (where ## is the ascii code for line feed) into the find box, nothing into the change to box, and select change all. Finally, I believe that McSink can also strip line feeds, but I don't have it in front of me, so I can't be certain. Good Luck,-- Paul Meyer paul@caf.mit.edu Microsystems Technology Laboratory MIT
