Jeff,

Here is a tiny C program I use to filter astdb.txt and other files. 

root at admin:/dev-static$ cat filter.c 
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{

    int i;

    while ((i = getchar()) > 0)
        if ((i >= 0x20 && i <= 0x7e) || i == 13 || i == 10)
            putchar (i);
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


...Copy and paste the above program code to a file (like filter.c) on your 
system. Then, compile with:

gcc -O3 filter.c -o filter

...To use, do something like:

./filter < /var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt | grep DB0
