Search And Replace - ASCII Characters |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer could not get WordPerfect to search or replace for the ASCII character Alt-31. When the customer converted a DOS text file into WP, WP recognized the Alt-31, but when trying to recreate the character or search for it, Alt-31 yields [^_]. Solutions: Search and Replace will only search for WP characters. WP will allow you to convert ASCII characters into WP, but these characters are not WP characters nor will they ever become WP characters. Alt-31, or the binary translation 01F, is a reserved WP character. When doing a search for a reserved character, WP will convert the character, but the character's ASCII value will remain intact. |
