I merged your threads. The trouble is that sed is using strings. My sed man page explicitly states: "It cannot edit binary files or files containing ASCII NUL (\0) characters or very long lines." Same with grep.

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 BUGS
