Ok, where can I get BBEdit? My "best" so far: keybounceMBP:Movies michael$ tr -d \\000 < fmle_session_20141111_161411.log > foo.log tr: Illegal byte sequence keybounceMBP:Movies michael$ cat foo.log ================================================================= File: /Users/michael/Applications/Adobe/Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2/FlashMediaLiveEncoder.app/Contents/MacOS/FlashMediaLiveEncoder Description: AdobekeybounceMBP:Movies michael$ "less" reports that the next byte in the file is <A9>, but I'd expect tr to just output that as is. Not die and complain. (the tr command -- note that it takes TWO backslashes to work -- worked just fine on an xml text file. But not on this log file.) > _______________________________________________ > MacOSX-talk mailing list > MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com > http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
