Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a file that was converted from EBCDIC to ASCII. Where there used to be new lines there are now characters that show up as <85> (a symbol representing a single character, not the four characters it appears to be) and the whole file is on one line. I want to search for them and replace them all with new lines again, but I don't know how. I tried putting the cursor over one and using * to search for the next occurrence, hoping that it might show up in my / search history. That didn't work, it just searched for the word that followed the <85> character. I searched Google, but didn't see anything obvious. My goal is to build a search and replace string like: :%s/<85>/\n/g Which currently just gives me: E486: Pattern not found: <85>
