Comment: I have 10,000 + very large xml docs (~.5m to 1m each) which contain a handful of occurrences of the character represented by hex 92 (looks like a single back-quote or something). I don't have perl on the system and was hoping to use 'tr', but can't get it to work. Anyone know how I can get 'tr' (or some other technique) to remove them? I don't need to replace them, pure deletion of just that character is fine. thanks for help.

Reply: (edit)"tr -d '\222' [file2]" where \222 is octal for hex 92
[file] is the input file
[file2] is the output file tr doesn't like to work if you just feed it in a file and then pump it right back out, you need to feed it through something like gzip/gunzip for it to work
