Data Stream Modifier

Usage

The Data Stream Modifier allows you to replace specific characters in the input message with different characters, for instance to remove line breaks.

A Data Stream Modifier can process any type of message. You have the option to search for ASCII, hexadecimal or octal values, and you can limit the range in which the search-and-replace function is performed.
