'我' takes 2 bytes '\0' takes 1 byte , so "我“ takes 3 Every chinese charecter takes 2 bytes ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil To: beginners@perl.org Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 1:57 PM Subject: Chinese word problem
Dear All: Question: How come the length of Chinese word I print shows “ 3 “. Isn’t it supposed to 2 bytes? Program: ----------------------------------- $str=”我”; $str_len = length($str); Print $str_len, “\n\n”; ------------------------------------ The result is 3 I took a picture for the program. In case of it doesn’t show Chinese word in some of your system, Pls see the attachment My environment: CPU: Intel Pentium C2D T7200 OS: Fedora Core 6 Perl V: 5.8.8 Encode: Big5 Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
