remove strings of lowercase characters (with minimum length requirement)
Hi all,
I want to delete all lowercase characters from my file, but only strings of length 7 and more.
For example, how can I go from:
JHGEFigeIGDUIirfyfiyhgfoiyfKJHGuioyrDHG
To:
JHGEFigeIGDUIKJHGuioyrDHG
There should be a trick to add to sed 's/[a-z]//g', but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!

strings
STRINGS(1) General Commands Manual STRINGS(1)
NAME
strings - find the printable strings in a object, or other binary, file
SYNOPSIS
strings [ - ] [ -a ] [ -o ] [ -number ] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
Strings looks for ASCII strings in a binary file or standard input. Strings is useful for identifying random object files and many other
things. A string is any sequence of 4 (the default) or more printing characters ending with a newline or a null. Unless the - flag is
given, strings looks in all sections of the object files except the (__TEXT,__text) section. If no files are specified standard input is
read.
The options to strings(1) are:
-a This option causes strings to look for strings in all sections of the object file (including the (__TEXT,__text) section.
- This option causes strings to look for strings in all bytes of the files (the default for non-object files).
-o Preceded each string by its offset in the file (in decimal).
-number
The decimal number is used as the minimum string length rather than the default of 4.

BUGS
The algorithm for identifying strings is extremely primitive.
