For example, I want to replace CTRL-I with an underscore, tabs with 3 spaces, CTRL-M with UNIX's newline etc.
You can simply use sed to that that, eventually embedded in a script (tabs and spaces written as <t> and <b> for clarity, use literal tabs/spaces when writing):
Use the script like:
As you enter the script in vi notice that you can enter any non-printing character pressing <CTRL>-<V> and then your character, i.e <CTRL><I> literally.
A word of caution about "^M" characters: look at my take on it. You probably don't want to change any "^M" but only thos at line ends. The one on line ends you don't want to change into anything, just remove them. They are probably being left over from a DOS<->UNIX file transfer and as DOS has two characters signifying the line change and UNIX has only one you simply remove them.
the problem is while replacing the old string with new one with the help of SED i am unable to replace the special characters with new strings. how can i do that?
i dont want the user to be given the trouble to write '\' before every special characters like * , . , \ , $ , &.

RKMAPPHONOGRAM(3) Library Functions Manual RKMAPPHONOGRAM(3)NAME
RkMapPhonogram - perform Romaji-kana conversion by using a specified Romaji-kana conversion table
SYNOPSIS
#include <canna/RK.h>
int RkMapPhonogram(romaji, dst, maxdst, src, srclen, flags, ulen,
dlen, tlen, rule)
struct RkRxDic *romaji;
unsigned char *dst;
int maxdst;
unsigned char *src;
int srclen;
int flags;
int *ulen;
int *dlen;
int *tlen;
int *rule;
DESCRIPTION
RkMapPhonogram performs Romaji-kana conversion by using a specified Romaji-kana conversion table. romaji specifies a pointer to the
Romaji-kana conversion table that has been returned by RkOpenRoma(3). RkMapPhonogram interprets the srclen bytes of contiguous data start-
ing at the area src as a Romaji character string and searches through the Romaji-kana conversion table for the rule of Romaji-kana conver-
sion that matches the beginning of the Romaji character string. If the corresponding conversion rule is found, the area dst is loaded with
the corresponding kana character string, with dlen being set to its byte length. The resulting character string is truncated when its byte
length exceeds maxdst -1.
flags is a combination of the following Romaji-kana conversion flags connected by or:
RK_SOKUON Enables gemination, in which a sequence of two occurrences of the same character, xx, is converted to small kana
character "tsu" only if it is not defined in the Romaji-kana conversion table file. This process provides for situa-
tions in which an obsolete Romaji-kana conversion table is used.
RK_FLUSH Converts all Romaji characters compulsorily. Useful for handling n appearing at the end of a character string.
ulen, dlen, and tlen are used to manage the progress of Romaji-kana conversion.
For example, if the character string "tt" is given to RkMapPhonogram, the first "t" is submitted to Romaji-kana conversion, with dst being
set to small kana character "tsu". The remaining "t" is put to reuse for Romaji-kana conversion. When "a" is entered subsequently, it is
combined with the "t" left from the previous run of RkMapPhonogram to generate kana character "ta".
ulen is set to the byte length of the characters from src used for Romaji-kana conversion.
dlen is set to the byte length of the kana characters derived from Romaji-kana conversion.
tlen is set to the byte length of the character string to be used in the next run of Romaji-kana conversion. The character string led by
tlen is placed after the character string resulting from Romaji-kana conversion in the dst buffers.
If null pointers are specified in ulen, dlen, and tlen, these parameters do not return any values and are simply ignored.
rule is used to exchange information about the rule of Romaji-kana conversion. When calling RkMapPhonogram for the first time, specify a
pointer to a variable loaded with 0. Upon return from the first call to RkMapPhonogram, that variable is loaded with internal information
about the rule of Romaji-kana conversion, in place of 0. To continue Romaji-kana conversion, specify the same pointer to the variable to
RkMapPhonogram.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns information about whether the character string set in dst has been converted by using a rule existing in the Romaji-
kana conversion table or not. The function returns 1 if a rule existing in the Romaji-kana conversion table has been used; otherwise, it
returns 0.
