I am a sam newbie and have a quick question for the experts...

How would I remove backspaces from a file? Or search for a backspace in a
file?

I haven't figured out how to get the backspace character in sam command. I
can snarf a backspace from the target file and do it that way, but I assume
there must be a better way?

Thanks,
