如何在Linux中删除`^ I`字符？

Question

This looks a number of space( 20170628 , ) but using cat -A it shows ^I ( 20170628^I, ).

I tried sed -i '/s/^I//g' xxx and sed -i '/s/\\^I//g' xxx , but neither works.

How to delete this character ? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

That's a tab character, so you can use:

sed -i 's/\t//g/' fileToChange

for this.
