I do not know if my title is a good one, or if I am even going to be able to explain myself here, but here goes. I am trying to work with .TXT (ASCII) files. These files have a page break in them which looks like a "1" when I retrieve them after being place on a network directory from our mainframe. I know that this has to be the page break since I never see the "1" when the file is printed by the mainframe and also because I just know where the pages end and begin. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this or could point me in the right direction. I have seen many materials on control characters, yet I have not found any thing specific on this. (Or maybe I just overlooked it). If anyone needs to see a better example of this, feel free to /msg me and I will attempt to send a better example. For now here is about the best I can do considering :
1**************************************

* JOB IT1234-A
* REPORT ID-000
* TITLE REPORT FROM O/S390

The page break is at the "1" in the top left hand corner. I am also trying to use Create::PDF to turn these files into .PDF format if that helps any. Thanks.
