New page character 0x0C vs 0x0D
Is there a way to substitute ina file a 0x0C (new page!) character into a 0x0D (carriage return)?

Thank you,
Sarah

It almost worked now I get another strange character.
Is it possible to specify the exadecimal code on the command tr?

Tr accepts the octal specification :
Code:
tr '\014' '\015'  <inputfile >outputfile
