Re^2: Fix whitespace around symbols

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I haven't written any code because I don't know how to start. I would like to do it in perl but other script languages are welcome.

I have tried your code and it works when the sentence contains one symbol. In case of more symbols, they are omitted from the second sentence.

Thanks

I can't replicate the problem. When I run the program with the two sentences: `$_= "This is a perl script/program- code."; my $target= "C'est un perl script / programme - codele";` [download] I get as the result in `$target`: `C'est un perl script/programme- codele` [download] ... which is what I expect. If you tell us the exact input data and the exact output data you get, maybe we can work on finding the cause.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, I don't have a standard text, but the problem appears when I have two same symbols in the same sentence. For instance, `<p>Is this a perl script/program or a java script/program?</p> <p>C'est un perl script / programme ou un script / programme?</p>` [download] Best	[reply] [d/l]

Aaah, now I understand. There was the `/g` flag missing when initializing the `%symbols` hash. As soon as you add it to the three `m//` operators, the program works. See perlop and perlre for more information on the `/g` flag.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
