Re: [MacPerl] parsing postscript

[John Gilmore-Baldwin <john@dwx.com>]

As some people pointed out, and much to my shame, the file does indeed
include a space before the return.

For those who asked:

The file is coming off a Tandem box, generated by a newspaper publishing
comany's software (SII is the company).
I am trying to take a series of ads and parse them into individual ads,
that I then will convert to EPS files for individual placement.

Thanks for the help, and I promise to pay better attention in the future.
John
