No. If you have `od`, you could dump your file using `od -c file` [download] Or you could use Perl. `perl -ple's/\\/\\\\/g; s/([^\x21-\x7E])/sprintf(qq{\\x{%X}}, ord($1))/ +eg;' file` [download] (Switch «`'`» for «`"`» for the Windows shell.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

the reason seems to there is an extra space after the number ,if I remove that extra space it seems to match,not sure why would "an extra space"after the number make a difference	[reply]

It makes a difference because your pattern explicitly requires that the end of the line follows the number (/\d+$/).	[reply]

There's definitely a character after the number. A space (unless it's getting corrupted into a space).	[reply]
