Björn, Robert,
Thanks... almost there.
The strings command got rid of the binary garbage and effectively
deleted the first line. I'm still left with a bunch of ASCII garbage
at the end of the file.
Using sed, I did the following:
sed '/Pattern/, $d' OldFile > NewFile
Which almost works perfectly! The only problem is that sed omits the
Pattern along with the lines that follow it. I want it to omit only
everything after Pattern, so the resulting file ends with Pattern.
I've done about 15 minutes of looking on a website but cannot get
any syntax to work.
Thanks in advance for anymore help,
Ben
