I used the script from this post that extracts text from RTF files.
When I output the result into a text file I see a lot of "NEL" when viewing it in notepad++.
How can I replace "NEL"? For "NUL" I managed to remove it using replace(u'\x00', u' ')

What is NEL? Is it just three capital letters? – DYZ Aug 16 '17 at 04:16

It's some sort of special character or symbol. Similar on how linefeeds and carriage returns are displayed in notepad++ – mtryingtocode Aug 16 '17 at 04:33

What's its Unicode code? How does it look like in notepad? Do you have any references to it? I have never heard of it, and Google doesn't know about it, either. – DYZ Aug 16 '17 at 04:35

NEL is Newline. It should be U+0085.
If your editor is showing all of your text on one line with NEL in the middle of text, you could replace(u'\x85', u'\n') (or u'\r\n' depending on your system).

This did the trick. I couldn't find a resource to find their corresponding codes when used in replace. – mtryingtocode Aug 16 '17 at 05:47
