I oppened an XML file in VSCode.

VSCode warned me that there are unusual line terminators, like

Using utilities bundled with git bash for windows, or python, how can I find all paragraph separator characters in a file ?

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for but a good regex should do the job.

CodePudding user response：

This should work in bash, where unicode can be printed like $'\u2029:

sed $'s/\u2029/HERE(&)/g' file.xml

• & is replaced with the paragraph separator. In a terminal it will probably just look like HERE().

• Or maybe use sed $'s/\u2029/HERE/g' in case it messes up the terminal.

• grep $'\u2029' will list lines containing them.

There's also

hd file.xml | grep --color=always 'e2 80 a9'

You can delete them permanently with:

sed -i $'s/\u2029//g' file.xml
