Subject: Text conversion?

Darren,

I wonder if the reason for the leading space is that somewhere in its history
the file was converted from CRLF to CR, and instead of removing the LF, it
was replaced with a space?

I've come across this problem in other 8-bit computers I'm involved with.

Regards, Bob Devries

    If it helps, this is the code I use as a quick translate of those to

    $longtext = str_replace(array("#","_","[","]","{","\\","}","~","`"),
    array("£","#","«","»","¼","½","¾","÷","-")
    , $longtext);





  What I am trying to do is convert all of the domesday articles into XML
files, that I can then use lucene to search them.
  Seems there are only two differences in modes 0-6 according to the wiki
article http://beebwiki.mdfs.net/ASCII


  The other odd thing about these files is every line starts with a space.
