For the cases i tested this evening, i found something that covers my need :
... ! block 80 cms ! pad 80 FF ! punch
pipe reader ! strfind x41 ! substr 2-* ! chop FF ! deblock cms ! ...
X'FF' is used to cut records at the good length. Must not be present in the
input data.
x'00' is used as the first character of the records, must not be used.

What if the last data record ends with x'00'? Or X'40'? Or ...?
This problem might be better addressed at the sending end ratner than
the receiving end.
Might NETDATA provide a solution?
