How can I find non utf8 characters in a document?

Question

I have an xml file that has non-utf-8 characters so I get an error when I try to format the xml.

Answer 1

You can use a regexp website to find any non utf8 characters using the below example.

/[^\x00-\x7F]/g

Code example of how to use the regex:

var tempMessage = String(message.getNode('/'));
var newMessage = tempMessage.replace(/[^\x00-\x7F]/g, '');
message.setNode('/', newMessage);
