Hello.

I have a file, which is the output of one of my programs. It's a
script file, and therefore it's not supposed to have blanks in it.

I don't completely understand the "script file" statement
so this may be way off the mark, but I'd just use a dynamic
language or a *nix filter like awk to remove the spaces
from the file, e.g.,

$ ruby -pe'$_.gsub!(/ /, "")' file_with_spaces > file_without

Regards,

Yes, I had considered that. What I am doing is writing several script
files (a file with a set of commands and points, and other data - I'm
3D modeling something based on my calculations ) and the problem is
exactly in that. If it was only one file, I would do the
search/replace option in notebook, and voila. But since that isn't the
case, I need need something that will automate the process.
