Re: Problem with escape sequence \x for hex with spaces "\x{ 263A }"

Na Rolf, I had this same failure but didn't post it, because I had *a lot* of failures and first assume that I'm doing something backwards. I can get there partially now, but I can't clear the warning:

$ perl -de1
...
  DB<1> $str = "\x{ 41 }"                                             
+          

  DB<2> p $str                                                        
+          

  DB<3> $str1 = "\x{41}"                                              
+          

  DB<5> p $str1

  DB<7> p $str2

I tried everything I could throw at it. Am I on STDOUT whilst invoking perl -de1 ? What am I missing?

You need to do it inline `DB<3> binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'; print "\x{263A}" \u263A` [download] of course your terminalА must also be capable to display smileys :) I think if you want to change STDOUT globally for the debugger, some of the unicode flags in `perlrun` should do.

"I think if you want to change STDOUT globally for the debugger, some of the unicode flags in `perlrun` should do. (untested)" I tried all of these: `$ perl -C -de1 ... $ perl -de1 ... DB<1> use open OUT => qw{:encoding(UTF-8) :std} ... $ perl -Mopen=OUT,:encoding$UTF-8$,:std -de1 ...` [download] All gave the "Wide character ..." warning. All still printed "`☺`". There's probably other avenues of investigation for a global change: I didn't try anything further. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think you need to append 'O' for "Output" to the '-C' (my CMD-terminal has CP 850 so no emojis, sorry А) `C:\tmp>perl -we" binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'; print qq[\x{263A}] " дџ║ C:\tmp>perl -CO -wde0 ... main::(-e:1): 0 DB<1> print "\x{263A}" дџ║ DB<2>` [download] UPDATE (codepage) А) ah found the way to change the codepage `C:\tmp>CHCP 65001 Aktive Codepage: 65001. C:\tmp>perl -CO -wde0 ... yadda yadda ... DB<1> print "\x{263A}" ☺ DB<2>` [download] PM's codeblocks are limited hereВ, thats what I see ---> ☺ (sic) update (pre tags) В) or with `<pre><tt>` tags instead `C:\tmp>perl -CO -wde0 ...

the interactive debugger is redirecting STDOUT with every eval. You need to do it inline Aha... DB<1> binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'; print "\x{263A}" ☺ DB<2> Endlich erlungen. Vielen Dank....	[reply]
