Subject: awk question : 0x1a - file end problem

Hello,

I'm trying to scan binary files (log files of serial i/o, contains lists of
binary messages with header,tail, and timestamp) with the awk - program. The
awk-script does what I want. The only problem I detect is, if a 0x1a - Byte
occurs within the input file this is interpreted as a premature end of file
! I know, the awk program is for text-file scanning. Therefore : is there
any other possibility to scan such binary files for byte-patterns without
programming such tool by myself ?

I'm using cygwin b20.1, NT4.0.

Thanks

André Lasslop
