What are trying to make out of the document ? What format is it ?

Here is a workaround for those special lines.

You need to run this sed statement after the initial sed statement.

Code:
[/tmp]$ cat tmp.txt
"*%EFILocal [invisible_yes:S"\x92"]"
"*%EFILocal [logical printer:impresora l"\x97"gica]"
[tmp]$ sed -e 's_^\(.*\)"\(\\.*[^"]\)"\(.*"\)$_\1\2\3_' tmp.txt 
"*%EFILocal [invisible_yes:S\x92]"
"*%EFILocal [logical printer:impresora l\x97gica]"
[/tmp]$

If you need it in one sed statement it would look like this

Code:
sed -e 's_^\(.*\)$_\"\1\\r\\n\"_g' -e 's_^\(.*\)"\(\\.*[^"]\)"\(.*"\)$_\1\2\3_g' xyz

rubibtex

rubibtex(1)							       teTeX							       rubibtex(1)

NAME

       rubibtex - make a bibliography for (La)TeX using Russian letters as item names

SYNOPSIS

       rubibtex BASENAME

DESCRIPTION

       rubibtex is used to run bibtex(1) on auxiliary files with Russian characters in item names (citation keys).  It is part of the T2 package.

       rubibtex  copies the auxiliary file to /tmp, uses sed(1) to convert Cyrillic character commands to their 8-bit ASCII equivalents; runs bib-
       tex(1) on the modified file; and finally moves the original auxiliary file back (overwriting the modified file).

       rubibtex assumes that the bibtex(1) database (bib) files are encoded with the KOI8-R encoding.

FILES

       basename.aux
	      LaTeX auxiliary file

BUGS

       None known, but report any bugs found to the authors.
