So you may end up with looking for something that doesn't exist (unless you convert those chars to an ASCII code).
What I want to do is replace certain sets of characters, ESCape codes *glares* and those annoying extended ascii codes, to RTF colour codes and blank spaces respectively. How do you replace them, or remove them by replacing them with "" 's easily? Are you seriously saying there is no way of ever removing the anomolous characters easily? (Anomolous means ones which aren't normal/wanted).
