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.
