Noob question but harder than you think!

Ok. Here's the deal. I've got two colums of text and I want to completely close the gap in between them.

This:

one five
two six
three seven
four eight

Should look like this:

onefive
twosix
threeseven
foureight

I'm working on a game and I need to figure out the fastest way to do this.

I've tried just about everything in wordpad....

well you could write a little java applet that imports the txt file and removes all spaces

-_- I can't do this in wordpad?

 

[pcschris]

Do a find and replace, have it find the spaces and have it replace it with nothing.

well, if in vb you could always use the RTRIM() and LTRIM() to get those spaces out. Just open the txt file, DIM it as a long string, trim it and save it back.... it really depends on what you intend to do with the inputed data, though.
