    Turn's out the ^L was a case where 2 characters are displayed in the
    same position. Used the "col" command to strip them out.

    cat oldfile | col -b > newfile

    Best Regards, Blake

    am having a brain cramp.

    have an ASCII file with some lines beginning with ^L, want to strip them
    out (just the ^L 's ).

    been trying sed `s!\^L!!g` oldfile > newfile

    any suggestions?

    Best Regards, Blake
