Remove non printing characters from file
How do I remove the printer escape sequence, the first 5 characters, that occurs on every 33rd line in a file, see hex dump of line 1.
Code:
0000    1e 00 00 00 00 0a 0a 0a  20 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20   ....
0010    20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 0a 42 49 4c 4c 20

Thanks,
