STRIP - remove line numbers from the current file (*src).
(for an alternative - see "expl strp")
Syntax:
STRIP[B|X|#]
Options:
- STRIP
- removes the line number and any spaces preceding it on
each line of the current file. Only the first eight
character positions of the line are examined.
- STRIPB
- strips trailing blanks from existing lines in the current
file. If the line number is the only data on the line,
STRIPB appends one blank to that line number.
- STRIPX
- is like STRIP, but will also remove a trailing blank
after the line number if the next character is numeric.
- STRIP#
- strips line numbers from the current file and also any
"#" character trailing a line number if the
next character is numeric.
Description:
STRIP strips line numbers from the current file. A more
general version of this command is STRP (see "expl strp").
