If you don't change the encryption system it will be saved into a format unrecognisable for xine for example, so using replace-string does not work, even if before saving the buffer looks ok.

I thought that emacs cannot solve this task, and rms would have taken a decision in this respect.
It is true that using just query-replace it can't?

No, the problem was very bad formulated by me. The problem was that I had a subtitle file in which every character was kept on 16 bits, not on 8 as usual, and that is why Xine cannot read this file. The characters were kept as

Char = <a number of 8 bits> < zeros >

I tried to have this file into a format that xine recognize by using query-replace. Query-replace replaced zeros with " ", but it kept every char on 16 bits.

So the problem was bad formulated by me, because I did not know so far what the encodings are.

Yes, sorry - indeed - using encoding systems it works very nice EMACS. I did not know what encoding systems are useful for so far.

I knew just about query-replace - and it did not work at all on such a file if the coding system is that auto-detected.

I saw a few days ago a film (Yankee Doodle Dandy).

As usual, I copied its translation from a site. ( I attached here Yankee-Doodle-Dandy.srt from http://davidbillemont5.free.fr).

I started XINE and I saw that no text appeared on the screen.

I tried to use emacs to see what is wrong.

I do not give here details. Yankee-Doodle-Dandy.srt contains many ZEROS (0), that are unreadable caracters.

Bref: Just try to use EMACS (id est to use query-replace) to take out the zeros. Every combination that you try fails. (unibyte, hexl mode, etc)


Is it normal that EMACS is completely unusable for such an easy task?
