Easy way to strip a code from a file

[pfilippone]

I know you Unix jockeys can do this in your sleep.

I need to strip out all occurences of 0x14 (dec 20) from a file. Or maybe convert them to a space.

What's the easiest way?

To get rid:
tr -d '\024' </path/to/file >output
To replace with space:
tr '\024' ' ' </path/to/file >output

Hope This Help, PH.
