Languages:

FILUM is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version and a Mathematica version and a MATLAB version and a Python version.

Related Data and Programs:

CR2LF, a C++ program which reads a text file and replaces carriage returns by line feeds.

CRRM, a C++ program which reads a text file and removes the carriage return character.

DEBLANK, a C++ program which reads a text file and writes a copy which has no blank lines.

DECOMMENT, a C++ program which makes a copy of a text file which contains no "comment" lines (that begin with "#").

FILE_MERGE, a FORTRAN90 program which merges two sorted files.

FILES_MULTIPLE, a FORTRAN77 program which demonstrates how a program can open multiple output files at one time, and write data to any one specific file it chooses.

REFORMAT, a FORTRAN90 program which makes a copy of a file with a given number of "words" per line.

REWORD, a C++ program which reads a text file and writes a copy which has a fixed number of "words" per line.

UNCONTROL, a C++ program which makes a copy of a text file which contains no control characters.

WRAP, a C++ program which makes a copy of a text file in which no line is longer than a user-specified wrap length.

WRAP2, a C++ program which wraps long lines in a text file, but which wraps some lines "early", so as to avoid breaking words.
