[Tutor] Removing characters

[Blake.Garretson@dana.com]

Danny already posted a much better program, but here's my version that I
wrote a while ago that does something similar.  This overwrites the file,
but you could easily change it to write to a different file.

# strips off endline stuff
import sys, string
for filename in sys.argv[1:]:
    infile=open(filename,'r')
    text=file.read()
    text=string.replace(text,"\n","")
    text=string.replace(text,"\r","")
    infile.close()
    outfile=open(filename,'w')
    outfile.write(text)
    outfile.close()
