remove a page break (^L) from a file

[vergeb]

Is there a way to put into a script a command to remove a page break (^L) from a file.

I've tried "sed 's/^L//g'" but it did not work.

&quot;strings -1 <file>&quot; would probably work.

Try something like this:

tr -d '\f' <InputFile >FileWithoutFF[/oce]

Hi:

You can probably get the sed version to work by embedding the octal value of ^L in sed:

# untested
sed 's/'&quot;$(printf '\0145')&quot;'//g'
