Hi All,

I have about 200 files to convert to plain text or better still html.

The problem is the text is full of printer codes
<SNIP>
^[^[&a8R^[^[&f0S^[^[&a4C^[^[&f0S^[*c2221A^[*c95B^[*c15G^[*c2P^[*c4A^[*c1852B^[*c0P^[*c2221A^[*c4B^[*c0P^[*p+59Y^[*p

</SNIP>


Do I need a port or something to clean up this mess.

hope someone can help.


Thanks for your time.
