GUI to find and replace several sets of hex and ASCII characters in many files?
by grumpyskeptic from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56VXY)
I want to replace several sets of hex and ASCII characters in all the files in a folder.
For example, 0a replaced by 2c, 5e replaced by 0a, ,T replaced by , and so on.
The replacements can be done line by line.
Is there something that can do this with a GUI or at most a one line simple script please?
I see that the tr command can apparently do this with one pair of characters for one file. Can this be extended to many pairs and every file please?
If not, it would be quicker to do it using Bless Hex Editor with every file.
I am using Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Cinnamon. I searched the software repository but was unable to find anything that seemed suitable. I have searched the internet for a solution but have found nothing I can understand.
Thanks.
