Hello Russel,
Well then you need to have a script like that if the record of a line is always 192 characters, and from what I see you are in Unix (AIX)
Your exported text file is called raw.txt
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $length = $ARGV[0];
my $fileName = $ARGV[1];
open my $file, "<:raw", $fileName or die "Couldn't open $fileName!";
my $somebyte;
while (read($file,$somebyte,$length)) {
next if $somebyte=~/^$/;
print $somebyte."\n";
}
close $file;
and you call it like transformtext.pl
transformtext.pl 192 raw.txt
and it should do the trick on the terminal output, then you redirect it into another file, and it should be ok.
I suppose that you are using a "ISO8859-X" format, one byte per character. If you are using something else... then this code is broken! :-)
I hope that helps a little bit.
Sincerely yours,
Alessandro
