According to "Mastering Regular Expressions," by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl, \xNN
hex codes are not supported in sed. :-( For that you need awk, Perl, tcl,
Emacs or Python. 

-----Original Message-----
Just for my own edification, is there any way to grep for a certain 
non-printing ascii character?  The Linux programming bible says \xyy 
would find ascii yy, for instance \x07 finds the ascii bell.  But I 
wonder if maybe that only works in perl.
