Hi Peter, > does OpenBSD have a program/script to remove control characters (escape > sequence) from text files?
Sure, sed 's/[^A-Z ]//g' No kidding: Usually you want to specify which characters to allow, not which characters to remove (default deny policy). In case you want to allow more than just capital letters and blanks, add them to the character set above. See sed(1) for details. Yours, Ingo
