- FastStrip V1.0 by Jason Frecknall 1998
- Mail: jay@blidworth.demon.co.uk
-
- Introduction:
-
- This program will search through a file and remove all instances of a
- particular character or optionally replace it with another. The main reason
- for writing this program is because of another which did exactly the same,
- except that it was very slow (even on my 060) and also to learn how to use
- ReadArgs(). My program is many times faster as it is coded in assembler.
- The main use is for stripping PC return chrs from files as some files
- originating from PC have both types.
-
- Usage:
-
- FILE/A,VALUE1/N/A,VALUE2/N
-
- FILE is the file to work on. Once the characters have been removed it is
- written back over itself.
-
- VALUE1 is the character to search for.
- A decimal value is required in the range of 0-255.
-
- VALUE2 is optionally the character to replace VALUE1 with.
- A decimal value is required in the range of 0-255.
-
- Useful values:
-
- Value ASCII
-
- 32 space
- 10 return
- 9 Tab
- 13 PC return
-
- I was planning to make it possible to input hex values, but the modifier /N
- (number) doesn't automatically convert them. If I did add it, it would mean
- changing the numeric fields to strings. If you know otherwise, let me know.
