Using sed, you can navigate to a particular offset in a line and make a substitution....
sed 's/./A/24' myfile
This'll replace the 24th character on each line with 'A'
If you want to change a particular byte offset within a multiline file online once, try something like
But beware, each newline is also a byte in itself.
Hi all,
Does anybody know or guide me on how to remove the first N bytes and the last N bytes from a binary file? Is there any AWK or SED or any command that I can use to achieve this?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
If I want to copy a 1024 byte data stream in to the target location in 3-bytes chunk, I guess I can use the following script.
dd bs=1024 count=3 if=/src of=/dest
But, I would like to know, how to do it via a C program. I have tried this with memcpy(), that did not help. (3 Replies)

seek
seek(n) Tcl Built-In Commands seek(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
seek - Change the access position for an open channel
SYNOPSIS
seek channelId offset ?origin?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Changes the current access position for channelId. ChannelId must be a channel identifier such as returned from a previous invocation of
open or socket. The offset and origin arguments specify the position at which the next read or write will occur for channelId. Offset must
be an integer (which may be negative) and origin must be one of the following:
start The new access position will be offset bytes from the start of the underlying file or device.
current The new access position will be offset bytes from the current access position; a negative offset moves the access position back-
wards in the underlying file or device.
end The new access position will be offset bytes from the end of the file or device. A negative offset places the access position
before the end of file, and a positive offset places the access position after the end of file.
The origin argument defaults to start.
The command flushes all buffered output for the channel before the command returns, even if the channel is in nonblocking mode. It also
discards any buffered and unread input. This command returns an empty string. An error occurs if this command is applied to channels
whose underlying file or device does not support seeking.
Note that offset values are byte offsets, not character offsets. Both seek and tell operate in terms of bytes, not characters, unlike |
read.
