Has anyone written a "zap gremlins" command for TextMate? BBEdit has this, but an equivalent doesn't seem to be available in TextMate.
Please forgive me if I react in total and absolute confusion but.. what????
From the BBEdit User Manual:
This command displays a sheet which allows you to remove or replace various non- printing characters, often known as “gremlins”. Use this command when you have a file that may contain extraneous control characters, or any non- ASCII characters, which you wish to identify or remove.
It allows you to selectively remove non-ASCII characters, control characters, and/or null (ASCII 0) characters, and either delete them, replace them with their character code, or replace them with a specified character (defaulting to the standard bullet (•) character).
I can't answer Trevor's question, but hopefully that clears up what he's asking for those of you who haven't used BBEdit before.
Thanks, Jeff
