That I can't know how this paste looks on your screen, is further proof of the need for such a non-ASCII-cleaner and general purpose string-translator, even replacing eg. `fromdos`. -- -> echo " isnAÄt al" |hexdump -C == 00000000 20 69 73 6e c2 80 74 20 61 6c 0a | isnAÄ.t al.| The 2-byte:c2 80; which should be a <single quote> is probably generated by M$, although a competent emacs user posts similar <errors> *here*. -- `tr` could be extended to do: tR LenStr1 LenStr2 ByteString1 ByteString2 -- So to clean the above-example-text-file, use: tR 2 1 c2 80 27 PS. this same problem came up in my recent query re. how to fix: mimed lin= es which Apart from finding the customised tool, the best solution offered involved using awk!!
