Hello Sergey,

On Friday February 21 2025 03:30, you wrote to me:

Hmm.. I see your point.

The program I wrote many years ago only detects the first appearance of a non
valid utf8 sequence in a line. It ignores any other invalid sequences in the
same line. So only the first occurence is replaced by a question mark, the
rest is copied as is.

I think I have found a work around.


Cheers, Michiel
