Description:
Strips ANSI characters and
ASCII control(^) characters from text files.
Usage from the shell:
CleanUp ><path/cleanfilename> <dirtyfilename>
Example:
You have a text file that is loaded with strange looking
characters. You want the strange stuff to go >nil:.
Assuming the offensive file is called "unsit.man", and you
want to clean it up and send the output to RAM: for safe
keeping, call CleanUp like this:
CleanUp >RAM:unsit.man unsit.man
CleanUp writes it's output to stdout, so if you don't
specify a destination (>RAM:unsit.man) the cleaned up file
will be ECHOed to the shell.
You could give the file a new name when redirecting the output.
CleanUp is an Arexx script that behaves like an executable.
It can be called from any shell.
Installation:
Copy CleanUp and Gawk to C: or anyplace in the path.
Copy ixemul.lib to LIBS:
Money Back Gaurantee
If CleanUp won't fix your problem child, try some of the other
strippers on AmiNet. If that doesn't work, email us the
offending file and we will return a version of CleanUp that
will work for you.
