Opening a Text file with a null end
Everyone,
I am using openoffice writer to open up a text file that is being
created with a null octal \000\ as the end of file marker. When
openoffice opens the file it replaces the null with a "#" character.
The software I am using to create the text file is unable to create the
text file without a null at the end of the file. Is there a way to get
openoffice to ignore the null and not translate the null into a "#"
Thanks for your help!!!

Dear Fideric,
Perl certainly allowed me to solve the problem, but it would have been
nice to do it with openoffice. I am not certain that I understand your
note. Were you able to get openoffice to ignore nulls at the end of a
text file?

We can do it automatically, as much as manually, as much as you. Maybe perl
will be fun to you.

I could not figure out how to get openoffice to ignore the null, but I
did figure out a fix for the problem. I wrote a perl script that is
activated before openoffice that removes the null at the end of the text
file before it passes the file to openoffice.
However, if there is a way for openoffice to do this I would be
interested in your comments.
