I have a text file (created by pdftotext) that I've imported into my script.
It contains ASCII characters 251 for crosses and 252 for ticks. If I load the file in gvim and do :as it reports the characters as <u> 251, Hex 00fb, Octal 373 <u> 252, hex 00fc, Octal 374 However, when I try to seacch for it using if ($line=~/[\xfb|\xfc]/) { or even just if ($line=~/\xfb/) { it always fails. What am I doing wrong? Gary -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
