Special column adding
Hi Team,

I would like to add two dummy columns at the end of the file. I know how to add the columns using awk . Here is my problem. we have bit strange delimiter
when I od -bc it shows 244 as its binary value.

Code:
0002200  060 244 060 244 060 244 066 065 244 060 244 244 012
           0   ▒   0   ▒   0   ▒   6   5   ▒   0   ▒   ▒  \n

I need to use the same delimiter and add two delimiters at the end

Like so:
Code:
awk -F"\244" '{NF=NF+2}1 ' OFS="\244" file | od -bc
0000000 060 244 060 244 060 244 066 065 244 060 244 244 244 244 012
          0 244   0 244   0 244   6   5 244   0 244 244 244 244  \n
