I followed this thread for a while, but now I think I should contribute a little.

If the content of a file is binary or text has nothing to do with the file structure. As an example a executable is a file as well.
So what you expect does not matter! The inner structure of a file depends on the creator of the file.

If you think that such a tool is a good idea, just contribute it.
By the way I really don't know why you wasting time on writing mails instead of writing a short piece of code to handle such a string.
Eg. in perl it is just one command called chomp.
