[Linux-disciples] Deleting all non-ASCII characters

[Jamie Forrest]

Also for historical purposes, this concise perl script will do  
everything I need to do:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $file_contents = join( '', <> );
$file_contents =~ s#/\*.*?\*/##gsm;
$file_contents =~ s#[^[:ascii:]]##g;
$file_contents =~ s/roast/roastqa/g;
print $file_contents;
