description
Blanks can creep onto the end of lines in a file without one knowing it,
either by the computer system, from transportation or an editor. This
program removes those blanks, so that less storage is needed for the
file. Some programs require that there be no blank lines in the file, yet
transportation can generate blank lines at the end of the file. This
program will remove such lines.
The original rembla program uses fin and fout files. This rb version
uses input and output to allow it to be used in Unix pipes:
rb < myinputfile > my outputfile
or
... | rb | sort | ...
