I want to remove all the non-ASCII characters from a file in place.
I found one solution with tr, but I guess I need to write back that file after modification.
I need to do it in place with relatively good performance.
Any suggestions?

Remove Non-ASCII Characters From Text Python Here we can use the replace() method for removing the non-ASCII characters from the string. In Python the str. replace() is an inbuilt function and this method will help the user to replace old characters with a new or empty string.
Step 1: Click on any cell (D3). Enter Formula =CLEAN(C3). Step 2: Click ENTER. It removes non-printable characters.
A perl oneliner would do: perl -i.bak -pe 's/[^[:ascii:]]//g' <your file>
-i says that the file is going to be edited inplace, and the backup is going to be saved with extension .bak.

# -i (inplace) sed -i 's/[\d128-\d255]//g' FILENAME If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
