Already done, with you and Andrew's suggestion's I found the ascii man page
and came up with one line that does exactly what I need (so simple once I
properly understood what the ascii was)

s/[\x00-\x20]//g;

Then I refined it a little to keep the spacing intact:

s/[\x00-\x1F]//g;

Done and done, thanks guys!

Cheers,
        Joe
