Find and Replace invisible characters

[doctorvandermast]

I want to find and replace null characters in a text file with
carriage returns. Can BBEdit or TextWrangler do this?

BBEdit can do this. In the find dialog, make sure the Grep box
is checked. Use \x00 as the search pattern and \r as the replace pattern.

You could also do it with the Text -> Zap Gremlins command, although
Bill's suggestion is certainly more flexible.
