Okay, don't use 'tr' - the bullet has been multibyte encoded, and I'm
not sure if it'll work if you map 4 bytes onto 1 byte.
This *should* work:
s/\xe2\x80\xa2\x0a/*/g; # /g replaces globally in the string
If you need something more specific (i.e. you don't know how to
proceed) then please post an attachment with the textfile. Hopefully
the mail program doesn't trim off attachments ;-) Keep it under 5k
though.
Until next time... take care,
Jonathan Paton
