Does anyone know the octal code for what vi is showing as "^L"? I tried

written from my perl script... I'm using "write" and "format" and need
ALL headers to be alike... the first is w/out the "^L"...
Sorry, no idea, but you can see the ascii table with "man ascii".
So, are you saying this character is already in a file and you want to
try to match it? Can you isolate the character? If you can isolate it
with head/tail, then you can use "od" to get the code. i.e.,to get the
octal code of the last character in the first line:
head -n 1 <file> | tail -c 1 | od -b
Check the man pages to make sure I got it right. Of course, if you
don't have a ^L to work with and want to make one, I wouldn't know the
code. Sorry!
