<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">I'm having trouble with
pdfgrep output too wide to see on screen.<br>
Any attempt to suppress extra spaces truncates the values at the
end of each line.<br>
How can I squeeze the spaces and keep the values?<br>
<br>

=============================================================================<br>
This is what I get when I pipe the output and squeeze multiple
spaces to a single space.<br>
Now I have the right width, but the values at the end of each line
are missing.<br>

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><font face="Courier

</font>I tried using other commands with the same results:<br>
sed ===> pdfgrep AcmeWidgets *.pdf | sed 's/ \+/ /g'<br>
awk ===> pdfgrep AcmeWidgets *.pdf | awk '{print $1, $2, $3,
$4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10;}'<br>

</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><font

truncated when I try to pipe the output to a file.<br>
</font>>>>>> </font><font face="Courier New,
Courier, monospace"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">pdfgrep
AcmeWidgets *.pdf > output.txt<br>
</font><br>
Could you <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">add a
squeeze space/tabs option? </font>Any other suggestions?<br>
