Regarding format of seq files

I am reading the seq file by putting 'tr -d '\015\010\007' in the filter tab.
I guess this command will delete all 'new line' (enter key) characters from the file. now my question is , how is the file being read as the terminating character is deleted from every record. The final delimiter=end .

Are you checking to understand an existing job or creating something new? If the incoming file is in DOS format you have a <cr><lf> as a terminator. If the file is fixed width you don't need line terminators.

Char(13) is not being removed by the filter. Does that gives a clue?
