Hi, I'm looking for a tool to do the following 2 things:
1) Given a string (ie. file, std input, whatever), replace all whitespace characters with visible characters (like their Unicode value or something). The end result will be one long unbroken line 2) Given a string altered as in step 1, "decode" it back to the original string. Note: The original string (it will usually be source files) might already contain Unicode values, and these must remain and not be altered in step 2. Note 2: I'm working in a Windows XP environment, but I have access to cygwin if that makes a difference. Can anyone think of a tool that already does this? I could probably whip something up, but if there's already something that does it I'd rather just use it. Micah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
