Mirni!!

This worked like a charm! it worked very well and solved the hex issue and created newlines really well.

I'm not familiar with awk ... I tried to change up the if statement but it wouldn't work
Code:
while read c106 c107 c108 ; do  #and store them in variables
      if [ $c107 = 47 && $c108 = 53 ] ; then #char107 is 'G' and #char108 is 'S' sub
         sed -i "s/$c106/0a/g" hexfile #replace all in hexfile
      fi
done

ideally I'd like to also add if c109 is non-alphanumeric [^[:alnum:]]

how would I do that?
