Apologies for being thick, but I struggling with a really simple problem. I have a file which has some hex characters 0x80 and higher.
I am trying to search for them so I can replace them. I can see them and they appear, for example, like \x93 on the screen and occupy a single character. I have tried various incantations like /^V\%x93 and loads of similar sequences which might work in vim, but not bog standard vi in NetBSD. I have used sed to do do replacements fine, but I just want to locate some errant characters so I can see the context. Having regularly used :%s/^V^M// to clobber carriage returns I must be missing something obvious :-) Dave -- ========================= Phone: 07805784357 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9D69D60DA2CB9869 =========================
