Depends on which special characters....If you mean accented letters, I use a 
subroutine that converts the accented
high ASCII code to it's non-accented letter.   (EX.   e' to e). 

Basically, it's just a bunch of converts. But it's good for converting data 
that was entered via a website text entry
where foreign letters can be entered. The hard part is collecting all the 
possible accented letters.

Subject: [U2] Special Character Handling

Is there a tool to remove special characters from a text file?  Other than a 
roll your own with convert or replace in a program?
