Hi Listers
Being a Luddite, I still use a MS-DOS Program ("Ample Notice" from Granny's
Old Fashioned Software) for my Diary. Recently, I have found a need to be
able to refer to my Diary when away from the PC and, therefore, I have
amended the Configuration File (config.cal) to send the Output to a Text
File instead of the Printer - I have no Sight whatsoever and, therefore, I
am unlikely ever to want a Paper Printout.
The Text File is usable for the purpose for which I want it but there is a
'slight niggle' in that the Text File is littered with Printer Codes i.e.
the Escape Character (^[) followed by another Character. I have tried
loading the Text File into Word Perfect for DOS (v5.1) so as to use the Find
and Replace Function to remove these 'annoying' Codes without success. I
have entered ^ and[ as normal and even used the ASCII Definitions 0094 (^)
and 0091 ([) without success - yet I can remove them individually by using
the Delete Key but this is rather impracticable as there are at least
several hundred if not thousand! Is there an ASCII Code for the Escape
Character and, if so, what?
Alternatively, does anyone know whether there is a Line which I can include
in the Configuration File of "Ample Notice" to prevent these dratted Codes
being generated in the first place?
Any help appreciated.
Best Wishes
Bi from Keith Rothwell
