RE: [sqr-users] Read a file into sqr

["Bob Buford" <Bob.Buford@ccci.org>]

Hi Debbie,

I would expect that the "non-ascii" character is really an ascii
"non-printable" character.  If you can determine what it is, and that it
ends each line, then you can read for it and build a complete record
line that you can then process.

(If not any brighter ideas, you could do like I did and write a loop to
evaluate and display each character and its ascii number).

Are these non-printable characters at the same interval (e.g. every 50
characters)?  If so, perhaps you could read into a variable of fixed
length.

Just some thoughts to help you further along this quest
Bob

Subject: [sqr-users] Read a file into sqr

I have a text file that I am reading in through sqr. The file has no
carriage returns or line breaks so the file wraps around. The end of a
line appears to be delineated by a non ascii character so I can identify
the end of a line. I think I need to in essence do a find and replace on
the non ascii character so that I can replace it with a line break and
read the file line by line into the sqr. Anyone have sample code or
ideas doing a find and replace within sqr.  Do I have to first read the
entire file into a string and then do the find and replace. If so what
are the limitations with this method.

Thanks,

Debbie
