How to find special characters??

sumitc · #1 (**permalink**) 05-02-2008

By more, vi, cat etc commands special characters (few control characters) are not identified.

Is there any way to find out those?

Thanks
Sumit

Code:

take cat to a vet: 'cat -vet'

In vi execute "set list" in colon-mode.

I hope this helps.
