Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How to edit a pcl (binary) file ? Post 302984494 by emare on Wednesday 26th of October 2016 11:48:40 AM

Yes, the files look unchanged from a binary point of view, same size. Also printout is OK, just the wanted changes, everything else is unchanged.
And yes, the line lenght of my file is huge. awk just goes beserk.


The challenge now is to find&edit a string with both escape char and ascii, i.e.
Code:
FIND:
*p1088Y[Esc]*c100g2P

REPLACE with:
*p4088Y[Esc]*c200g2P

where [Esc] is the hex 1B

Thanks.
