Description

|
Guess Paragraphs
|
Lines which are separated by a single line-ending (LF, CR, or CR+LF) are considered to be members of the same paragraph, and the line-ending is replaced with a single SPACE. Two line-endings in succession are considered to indicate end-of-paragraph and are replaced with a single line-ending.

|
7-Bit ASCII
|
Causes the high or 8th bit from every byte in the file to be cleared to binary zero.
|
|
Discard Controls
|
Causes all non-printable characters to be removed from a file. This includes characters with an ordinal less than SPACE, and DELs. The decision to discard non-printable characters excludes line-endings and occurs after other processing (eg expanding tabs).
|
|
Terminate Last Line
|
If the last logical line in the source file does not finish with a line-ending, enabling this option causes Stripper to guarantee that the last line is always properly terminated. You should think carefully before disabling this option because the lack of a proper line-ending on the last line of a file is not always immediately obvious and can cause unexpected problems during subsequent processing. For example, if you concatenate such files, the last and first lines of adjacent files will become joined.
