Cleansing "\312" from file in emacs -
i'm emacs user, if can accomplish on command line acceptable. i've tried query-replace in emacs, emacs can't seem locate character(s) "\312", i've tried few permutations.
how go cleansing these file? sample data below:
7/30/15 0:15,1781,4,zima blue , other stories ,2006,\312alastair reynolds 7/30/15 0:23,1782,5,zimmerman's algorithm ,2000,\312s. andrew swann 7/30/15 0:27,1783,1,"zimmermann telegram, ",1958,\312barbara w. tuchman 7/30/15 0:47,1784,2,"zinzin road, ",1966,\312fletcher knebel
those not 4 characters: \312
. single character, represented octal digits 312
because emacs not display character otherwise. see emacs manual, node text display.
you can use query-replace
replace it. use c-q
followed 312
insert in string replace. example:
m-% c-q 312 ret ret ret
the first ret
ends inputting octal digits. second ret
accepts string (with single character, \312
) replace. third ret
accepts empty string replacement.
