Question

How can I remove all characters that have a specific decimal ASCII value?

Can Notepad++ do that? Otherwise, is there another software I can use?

Thank you

In Notepad++ you can use \x41 to find A. Use \x to match escaped hexadecimal codes.

For this, you need to tick Regular Expression and Match Case options in the Replace window.

So, to remove SUB which has Dec 26, I should write in the replace window \x26 to be substituted with nothing. And I do have to check the 2nd of the square ticks and the 3rd of the round ticks. .... However I have tried but the notepad finds for me &, which has Hx 26 and not Dec... – Ale Aug 23 '17 at 08:38

@Elena: You have to convert dec to hex before, so SUB (dec 26) is hex 1A. use `\x1A` in "Find what". – Toto Aug 23 '17 at 08:47
