Why do you insist in using octal escapes instead of using the corresponding Latin characters literally? What characters do you need to replace and why? I suspect those are raw bytes and not real characters, but I don't want to guess. IOW, please give us some more context of your real-life problem. Then we might be able to help you more efficiently.
