UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I'm trying to remove the null characters from a file and copy it to std output.

I'm using emacs and I create the following one line bash file (followed by the error messages):

Code:

sed -e 's/^@//' <ConfigItemReplicator.install.log
/usr/bin/bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/usr/bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Of course, in emacs the "^@" is really a single null character.

Well I think bash is seeing the null character and terminating the string.

So this is not working! how do I remove my nulls?
Thanks,

tr -d '\000' < file1 > file2
