Hello, all!
I am very new to this Meta world. The beginner's guide to scripting,
the only doc I've got to work with, is not a lot of help. Here are some
newbie questions I have. Hopefully some of you old Meta scripting hands
can give me some good advise.
- '\n' at the end of line
My input gives me a sequence of items divided by new line character.
read from file|process <name> until numToChar(10)
put It into field <field_name>
keeps '\n' in <field_name>. How do I truncate '\n' out?
Try "delete the last char of It".
