[RESOLVED] [Word] Remove Trailing vbCrLf in txt file
Code:
Open strPath For Input As #1
While EOF(1) = False
Line Input #1, strLine
If Right(strLine, 2) = "WX" Then
'Test and manipulate data here
'Then format and write new strLine to strData
strLine2 = Left(strLine, 7)
strLine3 = Trim(strLine2)
strData = strData & vbCrLf & strLine3 '<--problem here
Else
strData = strData & vbCrLf & Trim(strLine) '<--problem here
End If
Wend
Close #1
'Later, write to file
Open strPath2 For Output As #1
Print #1, strData
Close #1
The problem is that I end up with an extra vbCrLf at the end, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I need to figure out either, how to remove it before the file is written, or, how to keep it from writing a vbCrLf to the last line in the first place. Any suggestions welcome...
Thanks,
JO
*Additional Info: This VBA in Word 2013, I am manipulating the data line by line before it gets written to the variable and ultimately to the file. Because I am using vbCrLf before writing each new string I end up with an extra at the end. This file gets passed on to another department and they've asked for the extra vbCrLf be removed prior to sending, as it is causing them some sort of problem.

Re: [Word] Remove Trailing vbCrLf in txt file
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

Thanks, but no change. Curious though, what does the semicolon do?

Re: [Word] Remove Trailing vbCrLf in txt file
prints without trailing lfcr
consecutive print statements ending with ; will print on the same line
if there could be multiple crlf at the end of the string, you can make a function like
Code:
Function remcrlf(s As String) As String
Do
If Right(s, 2) = vbCrLf Then
s = Left(s, Len(s) - 2)
Else
Exit Do
End If
Loop
remcrlf = s
End Function
to remove any number of crlf at the end of the string
call like
Code:
Print #1, remcrlf(strData);

Many thanks, that got me rolling.
I noticed I had some rogue spaces in the file as well, so after handling them, added your function, I'm fixed!
Thanks again,
JO
