If all you're doing is filtering stdin to stdout and deleting a range
of characters, it seems that tr would be a faster tool:

cat foo.txt | tr -d '\000-\008\013-\037\177-\377' > foo-cleaned.txt

I toyed with tr for a bit, but could not get it to work. The above did not work for me either. Not exactly sure what it's doing, but here's a couple of diff lines:


1619c1619
<     days integer DEFAULT 28,
---
>     days integer DEFAULT 2,


So it appears 'tr' is deleting the '8' character, rather then the octal value for 008.
