hello all I have a program that mails me the weather. But I first pipe it into a file and mail the file to me. I am not sure how to word this, but when I cat the file onto console, the results look like I want it. But if I look at it via an editor there are some chars in the beginning that look like this: ^[[H^[[2J And those chars are mailed to me along with my results. So I do a sed search and replace (replacing the hex values with nothing) like this: sed 's'/\\x27\\x91\\x72\\x27\\x91\\x50\\x74//g' text_file > text_file2 Nothing changes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. -- Samantha --------------- Ignorance must certainly be bliss or there wouldn't be so many people so resolutely pursuing it. ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
