it just came back showing me \240 as the unprintable character - not sure how i can use this another way.

methyl,

so i used your shell program and just added a redirect to a file like so:

cat infile|tr -d "${BADCHAR}" > outfile

when i looked at the outfile w/ vi the \240 chars were still there...

system shock,

i ran your command and redirected the output to another file:

sed 's/\\240//g' file > output_file

the output_file still has the \240 characters in it.

sorry to be vague.
...

tried

sed 's/\o240//g' file

no luck - didn't know if this was o240 or 0240 so i tried both to no avail

thx

pat

there was no change after running this command
