[Scilab-users] Fwd: End of line and tab characters in SCILAB

[Samuel Enibe]

Thank you very much. The string was generated from Excel 2003 files.
Some cells contained blank spaces which when processed for use in a
LaTeX document or csv file, the blank lines cause errors and had to be
removed manually.

I tried using the expression

    datax = strsubst(datax, "\n", " ");//replace EndOfLine with " " everywhere

to replace the EndOfLine characters with ordinary spaced but this did
not produce the desired results.
