Is there a way to choose not to have line endings without using a .FLAT output?

[Claje]

I am working on producing a file where I need to have no line endings.  In an ideal world, I would produce this without any additional files next to it, which is why I'm trying to avoid .FLAT

Is there any way to choose "No line endings" in the output data tool for a text output?

The Data Cleansing tool has an option to remove "Tabs, Line Breaks, and Duplicate Whitespace".  This will get rid of line breaks, but with the possible issue of removing tabs and spaces you might still want in there.  If that's going to be a problem, I'd probably look into using some regex.

So - the specific problem I'm trying to solve for here is actually that the Output Data tool is adding the line endings and there doesn't seem to be a straightforward option to remove it.  Before the final output step I have no line endings in the file.

Thanks!

Using FLAT output with no line endings and a RegEX process to split into lines every few thousand characters got me exactly the output I needed!
