Right now it's in unicode (utf-8), switching between utf 8 and sixteen has no
effect on the spaces between letters. Tried iso 8859-1 and iso 8859-15 but
the editor window was empty for these encodings.
Can someone point me to a sed or shell script that I can use on a text file to
remove the whitespace between the letters in the words only? Here is the
top of the script file as it stands now:
- - C r e a t e C u s t o m e r s t a b l e
C R E A T E T A B L E C u s t o m e r s
(
c u s t _ i d c h a r ( 1 0 ) N O T N U L L ,
c u s t _ n a m e c h a r ( 5 0 ) N O T N U L L ,
c u s t _ a d d r e s s c h a r ( 5 0 ) ,
c u s t _ c i t y c h a r ( 5 0 ) ,
c u s t _ s t a t e c h a r ( 5 ) ,
c u s t _ z i p c h a r ( 1 0 ) ,
c u s t _ c o u n t r y c h a r ( 5 0 ) ,
c u s t _ c o n t a c t c h a r ( 5 0 ) ,
c u s t _ e m a i l c h a r ( 2 5 5 )
) ;
