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

["George Jansen" <GJANSEN@aflcio.org>]

The alternative would be to use some other tool, e.g. Perl. For example, using 
"z" as the delimiter for convenience, you could

/tmp>echo 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAzBBBBBBBBBBBBBzCCCCCCCCCCCz' > stuff.txt
/tmp>perl -e '$/ = "z"; while(<>) { chop; print $_, "\n";}' stuff.txt
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCC

It is probably a UNIX based file, they just have a line feed (0x0a)
character and look like one big long line in Notepad, PC based files
have a carriage return and line feed (0x0d 0x0a) at the end of each
line.

SQR parses files by looking for a "newline" which is either of the
combinations so it will read the file fine.
