Re: [SLUG] perl substitution of metacharacter

[Russell Davies]

; I have a file that's being processed by Perl that has a bunch of
; "^@" symbols in it.   This is the "Control-at" character.
; I want to expunge the file of all the "^@" symbols.

You seem to have NULs embedded in your file, many programs are well 
known for not coping with them too well.

s/\000//g in Perl should work, strings might possibly suffice too.
