This BizTalk 2004 pipeline component works as a symbol preprocessor.
I use it for EDI preprocessing.
It can change the control symbols, can use the RegExes.
Look to the comments inside the Configuration file to details.
Only setup for this component is to fill in the path to the Configuration file.
Please, Let me know is this component is helpfull for you or not.
