I was trying to write a script to read a text file and evaluate the data to do some formatting on it. This is for a project I am working on and the person that gave me the text file wants some changes made based on the contents of the file. I have done similar things before, but I kept having trouble with this one.<\/p>\n
I started with trying to do a readline <\/em>and then echo<\/em> that back. Every time I tried it, I got \u00ff_[<\/font><\/em> (y with the umlaut, underscore and the bracket)as the output for the first line and then nothing for everything after that. I tried it against other text files and got the expected result. I was investigating, trying to figure out if there was a character in the file that didn’t work well, and finally decided to try and do a writeline<\/em> to another text file to see if it would at least write the value out that way. <\/p>\n Imagine my surprise when the results came back with a space between each letter in the source file. Turns out that it was in UNICODE format. I saved it as ANSI and then everything was golden. I also noticed that the file was half the original size… must have to do with all those extra spaces…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was trying to write a script to read a text file and evaluate the data to do some formatting on it.
