in reply to Re^2: How to edit a PCL file
in thread How to edit a PCL file

I've referred to PCL command reference document to understand the characters in the file. But it appears too tedious to follow the entire PCL file.

I don't think there really are any other options.  As PCL consists of escape sequences (of varying length) intermixed with graphics (pixel) data and maybe plain text, you won't have much luck finding a "record" separator.  In other words, to really know what is what in the file, you'd have to parse or "understand" each escape sequence...

What exactly do you need to edit?  (and why, me wonders...)

    These PCL files have some email address fields that needs to be edited so that the document could be electronically sent to the end user where he could get the document printed.
