Hello Shaun,

10 Mar 22 20:27, you wrote to me:

 SB> It's really just a curiosity.

It's because for the two times I tested my script, I didn't run the text 
through dos2unix which produced the "x" as a placeholder for the formfeed 
character.

In my script, I use "sed -i 's/\x0c//'" to remove the formfeed character (hex: 
0C).  There won't be any more "x" characters showing up.

If you're curious, the script is listed at https://pastebin.com/qUE773uj for 
your perusal.
