Can I use a perl one-liner and the module HTML::Entities to decode a string like this from the command line?:
select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links It's the beginning of a very long SQL statement. I tried these variations, to no avail: 506 echo select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links | perl -MHTML::Entities -ne "decode_entities()" 507 perl -MHTML::Entities -ne "decode_entities()" "select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links" 508 perl -MHTML::Entities -ne "decode_entities()" <select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links 509* perl -MHTML::Entities -ne "decode_entities()" <echo select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links 510 echo select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links | perl -MHTML::Entities -pe "decode_entities()" 511 echo select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links | perl -MHTML::Entities -pe "decode_entities($_)" 512 echo select%7Bsp%7D*%7Bsp%7Dfrom%7Bsp%7Dcore_links | perl -MHTML::Entities -ne "print decode_entities($_)" 513 history Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions on this. -Kevin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
