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.
