Hello,
I have an ASCII fixed width text file I'm trying to convert to an array of
fields.
When I use file() to place each line (record) in it's own array element, it
strips out any blanks it finds except one. This results in in ABC
MOTORS becoming ABC MOTORS. That creates a problem if ABC is in a fixed
width 5 character field and MOTORS is in its own field.
Any ideas on how to get file() to not shoot out my blanks would be
appreciated.
