bdg2814 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I have a script that is using the DOS copy command to combine two files into one file copy a.txt+b.txt c.txt. When I look at the c.txt at the end of the file appears to be a non-printable character. From what I can tell it is probably a Decimal 26. In AutoIt terms $X = Chr(0x1A). The character does not exist in either the a.txt or the b.txt file. Is there a quick and easy way to remove the single character from the file without having to read/write the entire contents out or maybe move the eof marker back by one character.
