i have a sequential file with final delimiter "end" and i have some junk values in it. to get rid of them i am using hex editor . after i remove those junk and when i save it.....iam getting the whole data in a single row. I no longer see the file in the format that is before editing. please help me what king of setting i have to do with sequential file or hex editor.

In other words, some of the "junk" values you removed were the legitimate EOR values - CR/LF pairs for a DOS file. Don't do that.

In your last post, you should have told everybody clearly what you intended to do.
Instead of asking for replacement of the "small squares", it would have been a better option to ask, as to how to read that particular file.

If you had answered Craig's question in your previous post, you could have got a better answer!

Replacement of the these special characters was never required in the first place. You just needed a better way to read this file.
Again let us know the HEX value of those special characters.
Usually you get these small squares when the files are not transferred properly between UNIX and Windows systems.
