Skipping blank lines while reading a file Options

[CharlesEF]

Hi All,

Sounds simple, right? Well, I find that it turns out not to be. Nothing I've tried has worked. So, maybe someone else has a better idea.

The attached sample file is part of a bigger file generated by Excel 2016. It is formatted as UTF-16 LE but I re-save it as UTF-8. The goal of the script is to print only non blank lines but I can't get it to work.

Does anyone have a better idea?


Thanks for any and all help,

Charles

I had to rename sample.sql to sample.txt in order to upload it. You will either have to change it back or change the script.
