Hi All,
I have a small project that is stumping me aside from using a straight brute
force.
I am processing output from an accounting program that is producing some
sort of printer control for some 3rd party print processing. I have
several partial lines that have commands to "over write" the line to create
bold type. I need combine the lines:
1 Balance Due:
0 Balance Due: $567.23
0 $567.23 Before
Due Date:
0
Before Due Date: 06/15/12
0
06/15/12
So the output line should be:
Balance Due: $567.23 Before Due Date:
06/15/12
The problem is the lines can be variable so I cannot just use substr to copy
parts of lines. The brute force was I was going to use is to just create
an output array for the line and loop through each line position by position
and if the character was not a space, set that position in the output array
to the character in the input line.
Any suggestions for a more elegant solution?
Thanks
Paul
