Removing @LF's from a txt file

[Justin]

I am working on a script and would like to add a feature that parses through a text file that has a CR & LF at the end of each line, and remove the LF's to leave just a carriage return there. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Hi,

did you try StringReplace?

So long,

maybe...

$text = "this" & @CRLF & @LF & "that"

MsgBox(64,"test1", $text, 5)

$text2 = StringReplace( $text, @CRLF, @CR)
$text2 = StringReplace( $text2, @LF, @CR)

InputBox("","", $text2)

fixed

StringReplace( $text2,

8)

Why not StringReplace($text,@LF,"") ??

FileWrite("test-out.txt", StringReplace(FileRead("test-in.txt"), @LF, ""))oÝ÷ Ù«­¢+Ù¥±]É¥Ñ ÅÕ½ÐíÑÍе½ÕйÑáÐÅÕ½Ðì°MÑÉ¥¹IÁ±¡¥±I ÅÕ½ÐíÑÍе¥¸¹ÑáÐÅÕ½Ð줰

Alright, I need a way to parse each line in the document. Assuming the document was called CRLF.txt and is in the same directory as the script, it needs to parse the entire 500 lines of the txt file, and either just take out each of the @lf's, or rewrite the document without them while maintaining the same formatting.

The following is what I have as sort of a test script, but all this does is return me a blank new txt file.

$file = FileOpen("CRLF.txt",0)
$string = FileRead($file)
FileClose($file)

$newString = StringReplace($string,@CRLF,@CR)
$file = FileOpen("crlf.txt",2)
FileWrite($file,$newString)
FileClose($file)

The only one line of AutoIt code can do it for you

FileWrite('output_file.txt', StringReplace(FileRead('input_file.txt'), @CRLF, @CR))

Of course this is not well readable and without error checking just for demostrate power of AutoIt

EDIT: herewasplato & Justin beat me

no, but that's not what he is asking for: "and remove the LF's to leave just a carriage return"
