the tr is what I need but it will not work in the script I wrote:

Code:
##Fix copyright incorrect in .html files
		for htmlfile in $(find $DIRECTORY -type f -name \*.html); do
			TFILE="/tmp/$directoryname.$$"
			
			FROM='©'
			TO='\&\#169\;'
			sed "s/$FROM/$TO/g" "$htmlfile" > $TFILE && mv $TFILE "$htmlfile"
		done

Ive tried:
Code:
TO='\&\#169\;'
tr -d 'Â'

Code:
TO='\&\#169\;'
tr -d "Â"

Code:
TO='\&\#169\;'
tr 'Â'

For some reason after the code is run it will replace the © but will add  before the html entity. Any ideas??

NAME

       QHttpResponseHeader - Response header information for HTTP

SYNOPSIS

       #include <qhttp.h>

       Inherits QHttpHeader.

   Public Members
       QHttpResponseHeader ()

DESCRIPTION

       The QHttpResponseHeader class contains response header information for HTTP.

       This class is used by the QHttp class to report the header information that the client received from the server.

       HTTP responses have a status code that indicates the status of the response. This code is a 3-digit integer result code (for details see to
       RFC 1945). In addition to the status code, you can also specify a human-readable text that describes the reason for the code ("reason
       phrase"). This class allows you to get the status code and the reason phrase.

       See also QHttpRequestHeader, QHttp, and Input/Output and Networking.
