Hello,
I need to change a string in a file
\303\215 (all characters) with Í (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH ACUTE
ie: echo '\0315')
I cannot get it to work using the commands below.
$ echo '\303\215' | tr '\303\215' `echo '\0315'`
does not translate the whole string
$ echo '\303\215'| sed s/'\\303\\215'/`echo '\0315'`/g
sed: command garbled: s/\\303\\215/Í
Any suggestions/help is welcome.
Thanks,
Thomas
