I'm running Perl on Cygwin on top of Windows 2000. I have a lot of ascii text files that someone has thoughfully saved as Microsoft Word documents. If I open them in a text editor, I can see the ascii text, but there is some junk at the top and bottom. Testing the files with -T tells me they're not text.
grep seems able to search through the text in the files, but I'd like to strip the junk out and save them as simple text files. I tried a few things in Perl, but didnt' get anywhere. I'd be grateful if someone were able to provide some pointers. Many thanks, Harry. ____________________________________________ Harry Southworth, TE2A/4 Parklands, Alderley Park, Cheshire, SK10 4TG, UK Tel.: +44 1625 518327 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
