REPLACEZ This is a utility to replace the control-Z character (hex 1A) in any file (be careful!) with a space (default) or a character of your choice. It is : small (~9K) fast (~100K/sec on a 386/33) cheap (free! - It's all yours) simple (check out the syntax) Syntax: replacez filename(s) [/replacement_character] Notes: 1. As usual, this comes with no warranty, implied or otherwise. You get what you pay for. 2. You may use either a "/" or a "-" in front of the replacement character. 3. Don't use a "?" or a "*" as the replacement character. It confuses the command line parser. 4. An ERRORLEVEL of 0 is returned on success. 1 otherwise. 5. No backup file is created. If you want one, create it with a batch file. 6. You may use an ambiguous filename using "*" and "?" wildcards. 7. The program is written in Microsoft C v6.0. 8. Control-Z characters are not "stripped". The file length is unchanged. I am releasing this to the public domain for three reasons: 1. It seems to work well, so I won't be too embarrassed. 2. It may raise the minimum standard for Shareware authors. I support them wholeheartedly, but a few charge too much for too little. 3. By giving it away, I am increasing the public wealth.
