DESCRIPTION

Sometimes a file contains some nonASCII characters that are in the way. This program allows the lines containing only ASCII characters to be grepped from the file. With the -n flag, the nonASCII lines are grepped. No matter whether the flag is used or not, the program returns an exit status of true if the file is pure ASCII, and false otherwise.
