I guess you meant that, instead of starting the mlterm shell with the usual LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C mlterm -D=false -E UTF-8 -T "He UTF-8 mlterm" -g 120x25+0+0 -w 24 -o 5 -bg WhiteSmoke -fg black , I should try to use LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C mlterm --viaucs -D=false -E UTF-8 -T "He UTF-8 mlterm" -g 120x25+0+0 -w 24 -o 5 -bg WhiteSmoke -fg black and then try the catdoc Desktop/L_9_27_06_2010.doc | sed 's/[CtrlVx80-CtrlVxff]//; /^[ ]*$/d' | view - or catdoc Desktop/L_9_27_06_2010.doc | sed 's/CtrlVxa0//; /^[ ]*$/d' | view - I tried it and got only question marks (but the offending character had been removed). I captured the output in a file u. Then "file u" gave "ASCII text". לך תדע! If I misunderstood your advice, please correct. -To Shlomi: I am ashamed to admit: Since I retired, some 10 years ago and also ceased to be involved in the professional life of others, four years ago, I could not find something to fuel my motivation to learn Perl, so that I forgot even what you teached me in the Tel-Aviv club. Your advice is Chinese for me (good that this list is in English: I would not be able to write in good faith "C'est de l'Hebreu pour moi!", the equivalent French expression). -Signature: I stand corected! Thanks. Now, I understand why my MS Windows-using friends continued to send me powerpoint presentations, despite my request: It was written in bad English!
