Folks;
I need a few pointers on an appropriate way to do the following:
I've two files, call them file1 & file2.
formated as follows: text1, text2, .... textx [return] ie [ascii
chr(13)]
textxy, ..., textxx [return]
(in other words a csv text file) and I need to take the coma's out and
replace them with returns. (what I'd REALY like to do is combine them
[textx1,texty1, return textx2,texty2, ... ect] but THAT"S gravy, I'd
settle for just the biscuit right now. BTW each file is a copy of
hundred K, and I've got to do this on a repetitive basis [one to two
times a week.
I USED to be able do just whip up a small program to do the job but;
I'm woefully out of practice, so I'd be grateful for a cmd line EXAMPLE
of how to do this.
in appreciation
