[softwarelist] Re: Strange behaviour of SRWE applet with OPW

In message <458DC752.1080402@xxxxxxxx>, Clive Bonsall <C.Bonsall@xxxxxxxx> writes
operations in OPW where the (invisible) FFFD character occurs in the middle of the string that you want to find.
FFFD is the Unicode which OPW uses to represent blank characters. In the standard RISC OS character set there are codes with no characters.
When writing OPW it was interesting to see that many documents originating on RISC OS have invisible characters in, presumably the result of miskeying - anyway blank codes have to appear as blank, or else such documents will change appearance. 

So first guess is that odd codes are being replaced in the document.
I expect that you can get rid of them by doing a global search/replace - if you can work out what the code value to search for is. 

More later...
