Problem

Symptoms: A customer needed fixed line lengths for each line saved as an ASCII file. The customer's problem was that he had tabular columns but the fifth column followed an indent that was soft wrapping several lines. The customer said he wanted the text to stay that way. Solutions: The operator searched for [SRt]'s and replaced them with [HRt][Tab][Tab][Tab][Tab], which changed the Soft Return [SRt] codes to Hard Return [HRt] codes. The tabs on the following line moved the text to the last tab stop, where it was before soft wrapping. The operator then searched for the [HRt] codes and replaced with [FlshRt][HRt]. This way each line had spaces added to the end of the line, with a [HRt] flush right with the margin. When saved as an ASCII file, this maintained the space and kept the [HRt]'s flush right.
