====== Detect Non-ASCII Characters in Text Files ======

The ''grep'' utility can be used to detect non-ASCII characters in text files,
e.g. in programming code:

<codedoc code>
~~codedoc:<b>LANG=</b>~~ grep ~~codedoc:clean:--color='auto'~~ -P -n '[^\x00-\x7F]' *.c *.h
</codedoc>

\\
:!: Please note the **''LANG=''** term used above overrides the localization / language configured
for the console. There have been cases where the ''grep'' command didn't work as expected
if a specific localization was configured.
