I dont know the correct place to put this but...
my boss gave me a project at work to modify HUNDREDS of similar files. they originated in QEDIT i believe, but they are simple text files. He wants me to go threw all these files and format the heading. replace a few control characters that got changed ex: "\y" is supposed to make it a heading, or "ý" is supposed to make it the squared symbol.
How can i go threw an entire directory to find all these control characters and change them to what they are supposed to be? also change the file extension and formatting of certain sections.
