Hi,

I have a problem. I'm trying to parse with ruby some test results from
jmeter, that are stored in xml files. Unfortunately, while they should be
utf-8, some of them aren't. Probably because some db data isn't. In any
case, this makes other toys break down, like xslt transformation and
anything else that relies on the xml files being utf-8.

Does anyone know, how to get rid of such characters? When opened in an
editor like Kate, they are viewed as a white question mark in black square.
I don't really care much about the data - if it's missing some chars, nobody
will care. The point is not to destroy the xml structure and enable other
tool's operations. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris
