STRIP - remove line numbers from the current file (*src).

(for an alternative - see "expl strp")

Syntax:

STRIP[B|X|#]

Options:

STRIP
removes the line number and any spaces preceding it on each line of the current file. Only the first eight character positions of the line are examined.
STRIPB
strips trailing blanks from existing lines in the current file. If the line number is the only data on the line, STRIPB appends one blank to that line number.
STRIPX
is like STRIP, but will also remove a trailing blank after the line number if the next character is numeric.
STRIP#
strips line numbers from the current file and also any "#" character trailing a line number if the next character is numeric.

Description:

STRIP strips line numbers from the current file. A more general version of this command is STRP (see "expl strp").
