Re: File output Question

Looking at this closer, I've found the file contains hex '00' between characters. In vim, it displays ^@ for hex '00'. So it looks unreadable. But when I use cat or tail commands, it strips off hex '00' and looks readable. For example. in vim, it displays: p...@r^@o...@d^@u...@c^@t^@: With cat

File output Question

Using the cat or file command on a file, the output is readable. But if I use vim or less command, the output is either unreadable or nothing displayed. Not sure why the file output is readable from some commands and not others. Any way I can use vim/less command to display this file readable? T
