in reply to Re: character replace
in thread character replace

The problem is if the text in the file contains $text='&bush& The output will be &bush& if the try to replace only &. So I have a added all the entities to a file and convert the only & to &. I have to replace only character '&' and not & Now I used the module

#!/usr/bin/perl;

use HTML::Entities;

$to_decode = "&an&nbsp;HTML&nbsp;string - &lt;&copy; TVS&gt;";
$decoded = decode_entities($to_decode);

print "original data --> $to_decode\n";
print "decoded data --> $decoded\n";

The optput will be original data --> &an HTML string - <© TVS> decoded data --> &an HTML string - <© TVS> I want the output be in the form original data --> &an HTML string - <© TVS> How will i do it using the module?
