JOINLINE 1.9

Unwrap text files with long fixed length records and unwanted line wraps

JoinLine fixes text files with long fixed length records and unwanted line wraps. Spreadsheets and database programs import individual text records with data on the same line. However, sometimes text lines are wrapped before the end of the record. If these records always wrap to the same number of lines, then JoinLine can restore the wrapped records to single line records. A space pad character can be inserted between merged lines; input lines can be padded to a minimum length; and non-printing characters can be translated to spaces. JoinLine writes the merged line result to a new file or appends to an existing file.
