i have a text file that contains special (unprintable) characters, what editor i can use to exam what those character are???
i use vi, but i don't know what is ^@
may be an editor that can show ASCII as dec or hex.
How about keeping things simple to start with. Just examine a copy of the file:
hexdump -C file.txt | less
before attempting to edit/convert/correct it.
Also, how about telling us which process is writing this file (possibly corruptly)?
Alan.
