Hi all

I have been trying to write a script to look for a set of specific escape characters in a file. On viewing the file via vi it shows this :

^[p^@^E^_^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

Vi also reports at the bottom of the screen [noeol] I understand this means no end of line.

I have tried a vary of grep parameters such as grep ^\^. filename grep --binary-file=binary without any luck.

I hope someone has a genius idea!
