I have a MS WORD doc file that uses a format as follows:
1 this is a word paragraph that has a NUMBER then a TAB then a bush
of text like this ahsdk;h sd;hsd sd;hsd sd';hds';sd sd'hsd'hsd 'h
;shdf;hsd; f;'hs'fjh'ag'hg'h......and more text.
2 this is the second paragraph with more text 'j'j'gj dfgjlkgl slglsd
dslglsdglgsd;fh;sfd;hdsf ;'hh;sdf;hs ;hsdf;hs;sdf;h;sha;has hsadh;
sdlgls;dggsd;;sd;h.....and more text
my goal is to transfer this file into a text file but keep the exact format
in terms of tabs and line feeds, etc..
When I saved the file as text or text with line feeds the format is lost
and the paragraphs looks like this:
1 this is a word paragraph that has a NUMBER then a TAB then a bush
of text like this ahsdk;h sd;hsd sd;hsd sd';hds';sd sd'hsd'hsd 'h
;shdf;hsd; f;'hs'fjh'ag'hg'h......and more text.
2 this is the second paragraph with more text 'j'j'gj dfgjlkgl slglsd
dslglsdglgsd;fh;sfd;hdsf ;'hh;sdf;hs ;hsdf;hs;sdf;h;sha;has hsadh;
sdlgls;dggsd;;sd;h.....and more text
As one can see that the paragraph margins are lost and the line between
the paragraph are lost also.
is there a way, so that the lines are padded with blank characters to
keep the same format? any suggestions?
