Re: [opensuse] How to remove binary garbage from the front of a binary file??

All,

I don't know the origin of these files, but I have a 100GB of corrupted PST files.

From what I can tell some sort of a processing / extraction tool went haywire and prepended binary junk in the front of the real data. The actual start of the data is a header with !BDN as the first 4 chars.

sounds like the perfect occasion for using some scripting language like perl: - read the file - find the first occasion of "!BDN" - write all the rest in a new file I'm not an expert with perl, but this should be an easy thing.
