I understand that non-printing characters are escaped in
RTF documents with
\', and I am told that they are stored as Hex
numbers. However, there is no
tag that indicates the end of an escaped sequence.
What is it that you're trying to do? Would converting the RTF to plain
text first
\'18
may either be hex 1 (null) decimal 8 or it may be hex 18 (cancel).
No. The specification is pretty clear that hexadecimal encoding requires two
characters. So it must be hex 18:
\'hhA hexadecimal value, based on the specified character set (may be
used to identify 8-bit values).

first fix your problem?
