To the tool wizards out there, Seems like lots of files I get off the net use \x80\x98 or the like to denote various non-ascii characters. Is there a way to use perl (or any other unix tool) to replace \x<whatever>\x<whatever> with, say whatever ASCII or ISO-8859-1 character or characters? thanks in advance, guys, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
