The print file has a reset to 10 cpi at the beginning of every page.
Previously we were using smbclient with "translate -c" to convert the file from unix to dos, but when we changed to use netcat, it seems that the nulls are causing the record to be dropped.
I have tried variations of
Code:
s/\0031\0000//

with sed and vi to no avail.
What I would like is something like:
Code:
sed -f sed.inp <$file |netcat -h 192.168.1.1 -p 9100

---------- Post updated at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous update was at 04:49 PM ----------

figured it out.
Code:
tr -d "\036\000" <input >output

rumakeindex(1)							       teTeX							    rumakeindex(1)

NAME

       rumakeindex - process a LaTeX index using Russian Cyrillic characters

SYNOPSIS

       rumakeindex basename

DESCRIPTION

       rumakeindex is used to run makeindex(1) on idx files that use Russian characters.  It is part of the T2 package.

       rumakeindex runs sed(1) on the idx file to convert Cyrillic character commands to 8-bit ASCII characters; pipes the results through makein-
       dex(1); and then through tr(1) to do some final conversions.  The results are placed in a KOI8-R encoded ind file.

FILES

       basename.idx
	      LaTeX index entry file

       basename.ilg
	      LaTeX index log file

       basename.ind
	      LaTeX processed index file
