hello!
I have some nasty, non-ascii character in some files that contains php
code (actually somewhere in my SVN branch). What I want to do here is
to recursively find all the files that contains a specific non-ascii
character in the file. And most importantly - i need to know the name
of the files containing it.
So far, I found a script that looks into a file for non-ascii
characters and prints this characters in hex:
while (<>) {
s/([\x80-\xff])/sprintf "\\x{%02x}",ord($1)/eg;
print;
}
Ok, this is good, the non-ascii character (in hex) that I'm looking
for is:
x{ef}\\x{bb}\\x{bf}
The problem here is that I can't run this script to run recursively
and I don't get the name of the file that actually contains this
characters.
I've tried with bash, but since it's standard output, I can't get any
resault on this. Here is what I've tried:
find |xargs /usr/local/bin/check_for_non-ascii_characters.sh |grep -l
'x{ef}\\x{bb}\\x{bf}'
So, I need a way to recursively find non-ascii characters (a specific
pattern, mentioned before) in all files and I need the name of the
files containing it.
It would be enough if I would be able only to see what file contains
this character set.
Thanks
