help with HTML::TokeParser

mrras25 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

when the lines are returning from this I get but shows up as ЂЦ in the returned output. I need to remove these or ЂЦ whatever it is

I have tried: $content =~ s/ / /; or $content =~ s/ЂЦ/ /; or $content =~ s/\ЂЦ/ /;

Thank you for your help

I have tried What is in $content? Use Data::Dump and show the output of dd$content; Why? See How do I post a question effectively? / Basic debugging checklist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nbsp#Encodings says U+00A0 so you can try one of these `s{\N{U+00A0}}{}gu or s/\xC2\xA0//g or s/\x{C2A0}//g or s/\xA0//g` [download] See perlunitut: Unicode in Perl, perlrecharclass, perluniprops , perlop#Quote and Quote like Operators Why TokeParser, why not HTML::TreeBuilder? HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath? Or XML::LibXML? Or XML::Twig? Even gasp HTML::HTML5::Parser?

that is reading a little broken - should read: When the lines I want are returned there are "&\nbsp;" (minus the \) or a special character, I need to removes these.	[reply]
