Rather use dd to "create" your file.

That way, you have a lot more controle.

I have been able to use dd to read the keyboard and recognize arrow keys, just l
 ike Readkey function

I have also been able to get dd to do some amazing things, like build MVS tapes
 from AIX

failing this, sed can do wonders for removing or changing such little nasties.

;-)

(BTW, i'm not steve. Just borrwing hos job for a day or two. Call me Dj)

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the prompt reply!

We use 'vi' to "create" data files, each file denotes a single record and
we do not need the LF character.  The data files are fed into another
application (which we have no control over) and it does not 'read' the LF
character well. Hence, the need to strip the LF character.

Life is always like that in the computing job..... :-)

VI is _the_ UNIX editor.
you can trim the 'lf' later using just about anything, but why do you need
to?
