[oXygen-user] How to get the location of "invalid UTF-8 characters"?

[Gibbons, Dave (US - Oregon)]

We have to search and replace high-bit characters sometimes. Here's what we do:

Find/Replace in Files
Enable the Regular expression option
Use this code:
[^\x00-\x7F]
If that gets garbled in posting, it's
left square bracket
caret
backslash
x00-
backslash
x7F
right square bracket
