I use a PC to monitor my experiment and take data. I transfer all my data to a Mac with LapLink_Mac. All the transferred text files on Mac have extra line feed control character at each line. I use McSink to open each file and strip the control characters. This is very time consuming. I wonder if there exists a program to this tedius job on all the files in one folder, just like MacCompress and LoneRanger. Thanks for any help.

I don't know if such a thing exists. but if you can't find any, then I'd be more than happy to hack one out for you in QuickBasic or something.

It has several options for stripping or converting control characters. You could also check the Sumex archives for either AddStrip 2.9 (I think that is the latest version), or BatFiler.
