Hi again, I've come across a quick and dirty solution: I have all ".A." expressions in my > 4000 character octet string sed-substituted by a "#" or anything, which allows for tr to replace this (single character) pattern with a newline "\n" before I run through a for loop to have each line converted to ascii using the script shown below.
Nevertheless, if anyone knows an elegant solution to have an octet string like 21.A.21.20.4C.61.73.74.20.63.6F.6E.66.69.67.75.72.61.74.69.6F.6E.20.63.68.61.6E.67.65.20.61.74.20.31.30.3A.34.30.3A.32.30.20.44.65.75.74.73.63.68.20.54.75.65.20.53.65.70.20.31.35.20.32.30.30.39.20.62.79.20.66.30.37.39.61.64.6D.69.6E.A.21 converted to ! !

So I am not able to convert such things as whole NCM configuration files given as an attribute's value in octet string format. (I'm on Solaris.) It contains ASCII #10 characters which are obviously ignored by the perl line above, so what I get is a one-line-string with concatenated lines. I'm sure the solution is clear, but I simply can't grab it. What I also did was try to replace all ".A." in my one line octet string by a newline, but didn't succeed with awk and sed, and my tr knowledge is rather non-existant, so a simple tr ".A." "\n" to have single lines to feed my perl script with doesn't do the job either. Whoever knows what I mean: please enlighten me! :) Thanks a lot.
