Re: Hex attribute characters in rpgle source member column 5 issue

Another way is to select the zero width character (yes, LPEX lets you do that), copy it, and paste it into the Find/Replace dialog.

I use this command at the bottom of the LPEX editor to strip out those x'22' values:

  findText all replaceWith "" regularExpression \u0082

Unicode 0082 is the equivalent of EBCDIC hex 22.  You can use the right click "Source" -> "Hex Edit Line" feature to see Unicode to EBCDIC CP037 hex equivalents.

I use this command looking for other special characters:

  findText regularExpression [^\x20-\x7E]
