Trying to change lines in a Postscript file...

[faberpress]

Hi,
I'm pretty new to awk and I'm trying to change some lines inside Postscripts files. The problem is that, with only some files, even with a awk '{print $0 > new.ps}' test.ps I get a new.ps with a different length. I'm not able to compare exactly the differences because of binary image data encapsulated inside the Postscript, any idea?

awk is not suited to manage binary files. Sorry for you.

Faber, awk did not evolve in one week ...
