I have a lot of foreign TV stations on the cable overhere.
To make my TV-guide work, I had to strip out al non standard characters.
Specific TVE has characters like � the ! upside down character, German TV
stations with the � character etc...

I stripped out al blocking characters with a bash script

Some excerpts out the custom script


cat -v /tmp/TV.xml > /tmp/TV.out
This transfers all non printable characters in TV.xml to viewable
character strings in TV.out
the non printing, non visible characters become something like
these
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] # '
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] # '
# [EMAIL PROTECTED]&  #
# [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Replacing is done by regexp like this

regexp="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
replace="\'"
cat /tmp/TV.out | sed -e "s/$regexp/$replace/g" > /tmp/gedeco1.xml
cp /tmp/gedeco1.xml /tmp/gedeco.xml


Still looking for a better solution, but for now and the lack of time I
have, it fits the bill.
