Find the character ? in a DB

[JeromeD]

I everyone,

I have a problem with my clipper program. I use it to find some character like "É" or "ç" and replace it with another. It works correctly for all except for the "?". It didn't find it, even in ASCII. Did someone have an idea because I can't find.

How are you trying to find it, using LOCATE or FIND command?

Hi, JeromeD

Maybe it isn't really a "?". Some ascii display utilities will show a ? when it is in fact a high-order or unprintable character.

Look at one of the records you expect to find with a hex dump utility to see what it really is.

Otherwise,

"?"$<fieldname>

should be .t. if it is in there.
