The problem was that I had a large amount of code that I had

This happened to me a lot in my OpenStep days. I can't find it now but
if you download and install TextExtras you can create a User Pipe that
filters out all 8 bit characters from the text on the pasteboard and
pastes it back into your editor. You could use the Unix utility "tr" to
achieve this.
Isn't it handy to have the power of Unix at your fingertips?
