Character Replacement Parameter

In the [CHARACTER_REPLACEMENT] section of the configuration file, specify character replacement rules.

By default the [CHARACTER_REPLACEMENT] section is empty. You can use the following parameter to define a replacement rule:

replacement_rule_id="CharacterToBeReplaced_NewCharacter": Ensure that each replacement_rule_id value in the [CHARACTER_REPLACEMENT] section is unique. For the value, use the following syntax:
CharacterToBeReplaced_NewCharacter
The character to be replaced and the new character must be separated with a single underscore.; For example:
replace1="a_b"
To remove the CharacterToBeReplaced character from source data, set NewCharacter to an empty value. For example, to remove the tab character (\t), define
replace99="\t_"
.
You can use hexadecimal notation in the CharacterToBeReplaced or NewCharacter value in a character replacement rule. If you want to replace a backslash (\) character, you must use hexadecimal notation.
You must not use multibyte characters in the CharacterToBeReplaced or NewCharacter value in a character replacement rule.
Also, you can use the following non-printable ASCII characters:
\a (alert)
\b (backspace)
\n (new line)
\r (carriage return)
\t (horizontal tab)
\v (vertical tab)
