Quote:

Substitutes Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ for ' (that's a-circumflex, euro, trademark if the board auto-translates it to something else)

If you look in the source this actually translates to 9 characters (oe, more accurately, bytes), and I suspect that the search and replace code will need to know those characters.

Quote:

I'd have to identify the longer string first, though, and that's where I'm coming up blank.

I use a utility called FrHed to dig these details out - essentially it is a hex editor/viewer.

As is always the case with my writing, please feel free to comment. I welcome both positive and negative criticism of my work, although I cannot promise to enjoy the negative.

- Ah, those happy memories of playing House of the Dead: Overkill. Well, with a plot this time... · Manga Shoggoth · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 05:04:29 am EST
  - It's those sharp plot twists that you can cut yourself on. And then you smell of blood. · HH warns you not to go out to the old summer house in the woods where those kids died in the 60s · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 08:16:45 am EST
    - At the moment I smell largely of varnish. Low oudor varnish. · Manga Shoggoth Summer? In this country? · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 09:33:14 am EST

        Out of character · HH · Tue Dec 15, 2015 at 07:04:55 pm EST
        
        Out of character? With a cast of thousands? · Manga Shoggoth · Wed Dec 16, 2015 at 05:29:18 am EST
        
        Out of characters, then. · HH · Wed Dec 16, 2015 at 06:26:18 am EST

        That's 'lethal' - 'lethal as a sack of felines'. Do not let the cats out of the bag. (no text) · HH · Sat Dec 19, 2015 at 10:22:38 am EST
