Jeff, you are my hero. If anyone else tries this, I strongly recommend using:

   grep -c 12$'\xfd'26 ./*

...to just display the counts per file.

Thanks for all the responses. I had no idea which file it was in, there are a lot of files, and this was the shortest route of a desperate man trying to resolve an infrequently recurring issue by narrowing the possibilities. You guys are great!

Best regards,
David Beahm

Can anyone tell me how to grep for this combination of alpha and high-ASCII characters so I can resolve a recurring accounting issue?

Thanks in advance,
