I have a silly Window$ application that is supposed to export ascii
data. In fact the file is 99% percent ascii (after dos2unix), but
contains a line starting with "Comment: " that contains non-ascii
garbage (represented as [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ etc.)
I tried
$ grep -v Comment
but that just returns
Binary file darkaa2.dat matches
Is there a simple way to remove this line?
Before I start looking at sed or gawk, I would just like to know, if
they would work with these silly 'binary files'.
NB: I can open the file with nano and manually delete the line, but it's
not just one file to process.
Thanks,
Johannes
