I need to replace those special char to some other char like # or $
Is there any ways to do it...
I tried commands tr,sed and many but it was not able to replace because of the special characters and ^M type of characters
I need it to be replaced and also the number of bytes of the file should not be altered.
There are lots of similar data in this file... I have to replace all the occurrence of the special characters. I know the start-byte and end-byte of the same

curl_global_init_mem
curl_global_init_mem(3) libcurl Manual curl_global_init_mem(3)
NAME
curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long flags,
curl_malloc_callback m,
curl_free_callback f,
curl_realloc_callback r,
curl_strdup_callback s,
curl_calloc_callback c );
DESCRIPTION
This function works exactly as curl_global_init(3) with one addition: it allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise
used internal memory functions.
This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the curl_global_init(3) man page for all the rest. When you use this function,
all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.
The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:
void *malloc_callback(size_t size);
To replace malloc()
void free_callback(void *ptr);
To replace free()
void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);
To replace realloc()
char *strdup_callback(const char *str);
To replace strdup()
void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
To replace calloc()
CAUTION
Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
