Re^3: Fix whitespace around symbols

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.

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]

Hi, I have added the /g and it works! Thanks for your time and consideration	[reply]
