TSE: File: Search/Replace: Character: Decimal: How to replace a 
decimal character?

---

Use the notation

\d<the decimal character value you want to replace>

---
---

Method: Manually replacing

---

For example:

I want to manually replace the ù character (decimal 151) by u instead.

---

Steps: Overview:

 1. -Open TSE

 2. -Load the one or more files in which you want to replace

 3. -select from menu option <ESCAPE>

 4. -Press the 'S' to 'S'earch

 5. -Press the 'R' to 'R'eplace

 6. -In the text box type the following:

      \d151

 7. -Press <ENTER>

 8. -Press the new string you want to replace with

      e.g. type

       u

 9. -Press <ENTER>

10. -Supply the replace options

      e.g. type

       ngax

      where
          'n' means 'n'o asking for replace
      and 'g' means 'g'lobal, thus in the whole file
      and 'a' means 'a'll files that are currently loaded
      and 'x' means a regular e'x'pression

---
---

Method: Using a macro and LReplace() or Replace()

---

The general format of LReplace() and Replace() is:

 LReplace( <your originalstring>, <your replace string>, <your replace 
options> )

---

For example:

I want to programmatically replace the ù character (decimal 151) by u 
instead.

---

Run for example the following macro:

PROC Main()
 LReplace( "\d151", "u", "ngax" )
END

That will replace the decimal character 151 by the character u,
without asking, in all the loaded files (using a regular expression).
