# File: trim.icn

# Subject: Program to trim lines in a file

#
# This program copies lines from standard input to standard out-
# put, truncating the lines at n characters and removing any trail-
# ing blanks and tabs. The default value for n is 80. For example,
#
# trim 70 <grade.txt >grade.fix
#
# copies grade.txt to grade.fix, with lines longer than 70 charac-
# ters truncated to 70 characters and the trailing blanks removed
# from all lines.
#
# The -f option causes all lines to be n characters long by
# adding blanks to short lines; otherwise, short lines are left as
# is.
