help, please BASH Guru!

you tried strings?

strings < in.dict > out.dict

Yes!
strings < in.dict > out.dict remove all from list
may by need some options?
???

Nobody dont know?

nobody know what? you said "yes!" and that strings removed everything from the list. did you have another question?

You right, sorry, my reply was not correct.
this function remove ALL content from list, not only lines what i need to remove.
I do not know why?
Can somebody show me any working example how to remove lines with unprintable characters?
Again very sorry, i just install my LinuxMint 13 Mate (2 weeks ago) and im newbie in this OS.
And my "Yes!" means - i tried this strings and have negative result.
Still need help!

it's kind of a tricky subject and requires some experience.

the issue might be solely with your language settings. just because your system is unable to represent a character doesn't mean it's unprintable. it could also be why strings and other console utilities are failing.

can you show us the output of ''echo $LANG'' and ''file <hashfile>''?

echo $LANG
ru_UA.UTF-8

file hashfile
hashfile: ERROR: cannot open `hashfile' (No such file or directory)
???
where must to be file hashfile?

He meant your dictionary file.

OK, sorry
