Hello All,

Do anybody know of a dos text utility program that
will filter out page breaks, space characters, etc..
from a *.TXT file?

Byron

G'day,
for mine, I paste into MSWorks wp, remove and paste back,
does it in a jiffy.
Rod.

When you say "DOS", do you perhaps mean a
Command Line tool? If so then I recommend you
use Google to look for a Command Line Editor.
There are lots of them.

Yes,
I need some command line tool that simply remove
these characters.

Example:

let say TOOL.EXE is the program:

I want to simply type at the dos prompt -

TOOL TEST1.TXT TEST2.TXT

TEST2.TXT will be the result file.

Regards,
Byron

This program is not exactly what you asked for, but check out
http://www.papercut.com/emailStripper.htm. It's free, and it can be used to
clean up a of text-only stuff.

As I said before, with a little effort of your own you can find lots of
them floating about, like here: http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/cmdutil.html.

Thanks mcp6453,

Got this emailStripper program working on my end ;-).
It seems to do what I want. I'm working on some Project
Gutenberg E-Text for PDA / Handheld device use.

Hi Byron,

Not a program for txt files, but you may be able to implement it in some
way:
