Re: CAN I REPLACE NON-PRINTING CHAR(127) WITH A SYMBOL?

I could use Data|Text to columns|Delimited

and specify Other as the character.

And I hit and held the alt-key while typing 0127 on the numeric keypad to get
that character.

It'll save one step.

HAVE A FILE WITH A STRING OF TEXT BROKEN BY CHAR(127). I WOULD LIKE TO BREAK
THAT STRING AT EACH OCCURENCE OF CHAR(127). EASIEST WAY I COULD THINK OF WAS
TO REPLACE IT WITH A SYMBOL AND THEN USE TEXT TO COLUMNS. IS THERE A BETTER
WAY THAN THIS?
