Hi,

I'm working on a perl script to insert records into a Solr (lucine) install. However, for some of the records I'm getting an error about a "code 27"

Request error : 400 Illegal character CTRLCHAR code 27  at rowcol unknownsource 1778 at /home/user/domain.com/www/admin/Plugins/Solr/Users/Update.pm line 164.

I've done a little searching on google, and it seems like a "code 27" is the "excape" charachter.

Is there a simple way of filtering out these "control" charachters, so this doesn't even happen again?

At the moment, I'm doing it with a regex + tr{} 
        $user->{$col} =~ s/\n+/\./sig;;
        $user->{$col} =~ tr{&[]ÀÂÄàâäÇçÉÊÈËéêèëÏÌÎïìîÖÔÒöôòÜÛÙüûùA-Z?!
+;,.«»()" '}{   aaaaaacceeeeeeeeiiiiiioooooouuuuuua-z           __};

...but thats obviously not filtering out those "special charachters" :(

Any suggestions are much appreciated :)

TIA

Andy
