. I have an ascii text file that seems to have hex 015 characters embedded at the end of each line and I can't figure out how those seemingly invisible characters got there or how to remove them. Their presence causes a shell script that I am trying to use on the target file to not work. It works on example (a) below, but not on example (b). When I open these files with a text editor (kwrite), the contents looks identical on both (a) and (b) $ hexdump -cb exo-20:12 (a) 0000000 E X O - 2 0 : 1 2 \n 0000000 105 130 117 055 062 060 072 061 062 012 000000a $ hexdump -cb exo-20:12 (b) 0000000 E X O - 2 0 : 1 2 \r \n 0000000 105 130 117 055 062 060 072 061 062 015 012 000000b --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
