Looking especially for those having long sequences and filtering out those that are ending with figures:

Code:

$ seq -f "%03g" 0 400 | while read i; do echo -e "code $i : \0$i"; done | cat -v | awk 'length($0)>12&&$0!~/.*[0-9]+$/' | pr -5 -s'  ' -t

Hi, ctsgnb,

I put filter condition chr(13), it removed ^M, but M-^E is still there , I put filter condition chr(133) (I found a char it shows octal code 205 match ascii code 133), but for somehow it doesn't work. do you have any idea which value or what kind of charactor I need to put in to filter out M-^E. I need remove these charactor in another process before generating the file.

Thanks in advance

Smilie
