[Sheflug] Dumbass question of the week #2

[Steve Tickle <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry that I can't come up with anything more mentally stimulating than 
this but I'd like to be able to create a simple plain ASCII text file out 
of a Winblows .pab address book file.

I'm assuming this can be done relatively simply by piping the output of 
'cat' through 'grep' or something similar. Could one of you fine upstanding 
people give me a clue as to what the command line should be to strip all 
the non-printable characters out, or at least those below 0x20h?

Thanks in advance

Steve
