[arm-allstar] Control characters in the /var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt file

[Mark Grigsby]

You can try using "grep -a" and it will work.  You don't even have to
delete the lines with the extended charactors as it will just display
them as shown in the example. -a treats binary as text, the 'i' is for
insensitive to case.

 asterisk]# grep -ai k0jsc /var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt
