Convert special characters

[henrik79]

Hi

I am using XMLSpy to edit a large XML-document that has been exported from a database.

XMLSpy complains about illegal characters. The document contains TM-signs (&#174, euro-signs (&#8364 etc.

I want the document to be in ISO-8859-1.

Is there an easy way to convert the characters?

TM is valid ISO-8859-1. For the others use find and replace?

Ok, but there where more strange characters.

And I have 77 text files to check.

Is there a more automatic way?

Maybe you might want to try a litte perl to check and fix them.

Can you export again from the database and change the query? If not, probably best write a small program
