Subject: How to search for characters displayed as octal codes in the buffer?
Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 16:50:06 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AxsKtA.VdaORacCtb3o.OF9ZFxgdHOepBxUnRALo@freemail.hu> (raw)
Sometimes I have unprintable characters in the buffer which display with an octal code (e.g. \232). instead of a character (text copied from elsewhere, etc.) How can I find these without knowing the exact codes?
I'd like to find all such places in the buffer where a character appears with an octal code, but I have UTF characters too in the buffer which display properly, so using nonascii is not the answer.
