Prn file carriage return deletion within notepad
Dear All I am completely stuck  PROBLEM I have a prn file which on creation always has a carraige return inserted after the last row. At the moment I am using VBA to generate the prn file but manually opening notepad and deleting the carraige return and then saving it again as a prn within notepad. QUESTION Is there a way, using VBA, to open the prn within notepad and delete the carriage return? It seems to be hard coded. I have read the prn in to notepad a line at a time but the carriage return remains. Any help greatly appreciated.

Prn file carriage return deletion within notepad
On my wintel pc, I get a carriage return/linefeed at that end of every
line--including the last. Are you saying that you got extra characters or that you don't want those characters at the end of the file? And just curious, why wouldn't you want those last crlf at the end of the last line? monster wrote: Dear All I am completely stuck PROBLEM I have a prn file which on creation always has a carraige return inserted after the last row.

Prn file carriage return deletion within notepad
My apologies, what I mean is this. _In_a_9_line_prn_file._ line 1 line 2 line 3 .......... line 9<crlf It is this final <crlf that I want to remove because the prn file i used within a system (out of my control) that initially counts th number of rows. With this carriage return, the number of rows i increased by one (to 10). Effectively the system sees a 'final blan record' (created from the carraige return). Have I explained it any better? Any ideas -- monste ----------------------------------------------------------------------- monster's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2435 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37950 |

You explained it ok the first time, too. I was just curious.
Try Charlie's code. I bet it works for you. monster wrote: My apologies, what I mean is this. _In_a_9_line_prn_file._ line 1 line 2 line 3 ......... line 9<crlf It is this final <crlf that I want to remove because the prn file is used within a system (out of my control) that initially counts the number of rows.
