thanks for the help guys, problem now is i dont have python on the system im using. with regards to why and what i would do to the files. those text files i want to check are actually an output of a conversion process, a .STDF file to text file. at times after conversion some corruption would occur and those extended ascii's would appear. the conversion is done in batch and it takes time to finish. to save time i wish to filter out those good converted files and just reconverted those corrupted. cheers !

need_uconvert(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					    need_uconvert(3alleg4)

NAME
need_uconvert - Tells if a string requires encoding conversion. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> int need_uconvert(const char *s, int type, int newtype); DESCRIPTION
Given a pointer to a string (`s'), a description of the type of the string (`type'), and the type that you would like this string to be converted into (`newtype'), this function tells you whether any conversion is required. No conversion will be needed if `type' and `new- type' are the same, or if one type is ASCII, the other is UTF-8, and the string contains only character values less than 128. As a conve- nience shortcut, you can pass the value U_CURRENT as either of the type parameters, to represent whatever text encoding format is currently selected. Example: if (need_uconvert(text, U_UTF8, U_CURRENT)) { /* conversion is required */ } RETURN VALUE
Returns non-zero if any conversion is required or zero otherwise. SEE ALSO
