Hi,

I could somebody provide me a tool that replaces "\n" to "%0a" and "&" to
"%26" and "%" to "%25" of a file?

Try with tr or sed.

That doesn't look like an HTML question. recode has features for
converting to HTML encodings, so:

% echo 'salt & pepper' | recode ..h
salt & pepper

(What you're asking for looks more like URI encoding, which recode
doesn't seem to support.)

... sed or recode or tr

perl -pe 's/%/%25/g;s/\n/%0a/g;s/&/%26/g;s/%/%25/g' filename >
filename.out

or if you want to convert everything except alphanumeric and spaces,

perl -pe 's/([^\d\w\s])/"%".unpack("H2",$1)/ge' filename > filename.out
