The rmnew command allows you to remove newline characters from within CSV fields. Although CSV can cope with such embedded newlines, some applications cannot. A typical use of rmnew is if you have a file that looks like this
"Joe Public", "101 Somwhere St
Anytown
USA"
and you want:
"Joe Public", "101 Somwhere St, Anytown, USA"
The rmnew command to do this conversion is:
csvfix rmnew -s ',' addresses.csv
