Another way using dd :
An example with the following input file (which contains a single record)
To extract bytes from 501 to 510 :
As you can see there is no line terminator in the output.
I am new to Unix so will really appreciate if someone can guide me on this.
What I want to do is:
Step1: Read binary file - pick first 2 bytes, convert from hex to decimal. Read the next 3 bytes as well.
2 bytes will specify the number of bytes 'n' that I want to read and write... (1 Reply)
I am on AIX Unix. I want to read a flat file for a string in a certain byte. I want to find the value: 943034 in column 56; and write out just those records to another file. Also, could I get the line/record number of where it was found in the input file?
Thank you,

isprint
ISPRINT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ISPRINT(3)NAME
isprint -- printing character test (space character inclusive)
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int
isprint(int c);
DESCRIPTION
The isprint() function tests for any printing character, including space (' '). The value of the argument must be representable as an
unsigned char or the value of EOF.
In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (with their numeric values shown in octal):
040 sp 041 ``!'' 042 ``"'' 043 ``#'' 044 ``$''
045 ``%'' 046 ``&'' 047 ``''' 050 ``('' 051 ``)''
052 ``*'' 053 ``+'' 054 ``,'' 055 ``-'' 056 ``.''
057 ``/'' 060 ``0'' 061 ``1'' 062 ``2'' 063 ``3''
064 ``4'' 065 ``5'' 066 ``6'' 067 ``7'' 070 ``8''
071 ``9'' 072 ``:'' 073 ``;'' 074 ``<'' 075 ``=''
076 ``>'' 077 ``?'' 100 ``@'' 101 ``A'' 102 ``B''
103 ``C'' 104 ``D'' 105 ``E'' 106 ``F'' 107 ``G''
110 ``H'' 111 ``I'' 112 ``J'' 113 ``K'' 114 ``L''
115 ``M'' 116 ``N'' 117 ``O'' 120 ``P'' 121 ``Q''
122 ``R'' 123 ``S'' 124 ``T'' 125 ``U'' 126 ``V''
127 ``W'' 130 ``X'' 131 ``Y'' 132 ``Z'' 133 ``[''
134 ``'' 135 ``]'' 136 ``^'' 137 ``_'' 140 ```''
141 ``a'' 142 ``b'' 143 ``c'' 144 ``d'' 145 ``e''
146 ``f'' 147 ``g'' 150 ``h'' 151 ``i'' 152 ``j''
153 ``k'' 154 ``l'' 155 ``m'' 156 ``n'' 157 ``o''
160 ``p'' 161 ``q'' 162 ``r'' 163 ``s'' 164 ``t''
165 ``u'' 166 ``v'' 167 ``w'' 170 ``x'' 171 ``y''
172 ``z'' 173 ``{'' 174 ``|'' 175 ``}'' 176 ``~''
RETURN VALUES
The isprint() function returns zero if the character tests false and returns non-zero if the character tests true.
COMPATIBILITY
The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered
obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. The iswprint() function should be used instead.
SEE ALSO ctype(3), iswprint(3), ascii(7)STANDARDS
The isprint() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
