Bug Find and replace all extended char.
Hi Guys,

I wand find and replace all Extended ASCII Codes from all my log files.

My Log files:

i have logs file in sub dir.
Code:
/home/Kalr/PPool/Output/X
/home/Kalr/PPool/Output/Y
/home/Kalr/PPool/Output/Z

My Abc.log file input:

Extended ASCII Codes :–

Code:
l–

i want to replace with -

l-

Is there any possibility to change all Extended ASCII Codes from all log files.


Thanks

Regex classes
Take a look at:
Code:
[:alnum:]
[:cntrl:]

as a couple of expressions where you may be able to group the characters that you are looking for.

Please post what Operating System and version you are running and what Shell you use.

Can you identify what character set this is? Did the files come from a Microsoft Windows platform?
