Without denigrating any potential REBOL-based solutions, this problem could be
solved with the free Icon language pretty trivially.
There is a library function in Icon called "deletec(s,c)" which deletes all
characters in string s that belong to charset c. In Icon both strings and
charsets are atomic types. It is a very powerful string-processing language.

Subject: [REBOL] Salvaging ASCII data from binary file
Hi,
I have been given a messed up (beyond hope) database file of 5MB and would
like to remove all the extended and unprintable characters, then save the
result as a text file.
