to avoid a problem you need to know what is causing it.
If the problem is on the first line, then use "head" as a filter to only
show the first 20 lines of the output.
Just type:
od -a test.txt | head
I am not sure what your linux/unix background knowledge is but in this line:
1. od -a test.txt
prints the ascii content of the file file test.txt with all
special characters visible
2. | (the pipe symbol)
pipes, or redirects, the output of the previous command to the
next one
3. head
prints the first 20 lines of the given input
I think that on this list it is often given that everyone knows (a bit
of) linux - which is not always true.
