Gerald NelsonSubject: finding non-ascii characters
Author: Gerald Nelson

Is there a convenient way to find and optionally delete all non-ascii characters? I cut and paste from Word and some of these come along for the ride.

If I know they are there, I can easily do the find. It's those situations where I don't notice (or can't see) them that's the problem.

Thanks, Jerry Nelson

You can enter a regular expression in the find/replace dialog: for
instance, to search for characters outside the ASCII table, you should
check the "Regular expression" check box and enter the string
"[^\x00-\xFF]" (replace \xFF with \x80 if you want to allow only the 7 bit
ASCII table).

Hope this helps

That's cool, especially now that I know what a regular expression is. Thanks! Jerry Nelson
