Close, but not quite ;-). There may be newlines that need to be
preserved, and we are only interested in those newlines that cause our
problem, which are newlines embedded in double-quoted strings.
strip-quoted-nl: func [string [string!] /local nl-rule] [
nl-rule: [thru {"} to "^/" mark: (change mark " ") thru {"}]
parse string [some [nl-rule | skip] ]
string
]
print-strings-rule: [ set s string! (print mold s) | skip ]
parse load strip-quoted-nl read %test-strings.txt [some
print-strings-rule]
