in reply to ignore UTF codes
could it be that my text document is DOS formatted? Perl does not seem to be recognizing the UTF codes at all. I cannot do anything to access them, and when I try to manipulate the line, most of the time I get a line like this
Malformed UTF-8 character (overflow at 0xa0c75a60, byte 0x70, after start byte 0xbf) in uc at ./qNa.pl line 15, <IN> line 25.

you can access utf code... it depends on your situation... usualy from my experiances dos has been straight ascii... Let me see if i can find something for you
-------------------------------------------
Ok there is a utf8::is_utf8() module. Itll find out if your character is utf8. so for example
$a=chr(0x74);
print utf8::is_utf8($a)?"yes":"no";
$a=chr(0x470);
print utf8::is_utf8($a)?"yes":"no";
the output is "noyes" ... if you can provide some more code i can give you a more specific answer | [reply]

In the example line I gave before:
Canciones\251STAMPID\253\277De quien es la cancion "STAND BY ME"*4 the cause
I would simply like to delete the '\253' from the line (there is more that I will eventually want to do, but if I could complete this simple action, the rest ought to be a piece of cake. my first attempt at this was:
$_ = s/\\253//g;
This failed miserably. The problem is that the '\253' is being treated as a single character (i.e., if I try to highlight just one digit, it highlights the entire 4 digit string)
I'm trying to write a c++ program to convert the codes to ASCII.
