Thanks for your reply.
Excuse me for Further question: What’s the ‘\0’ use for? I got the result of 21 when I put in more Chinese character like: $str=”我 們一起看雲去”; There are 7 Chinese words in the string, Does it mean every single Chinese word have to come with a single ‘\0’? What for? What is the benefit? Thanks again. _____ From: Thomas Yan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 2:14 PM To: Neil; beginners@perl.org Subject: Re: Chinese word problem '我' takes 2 bytes '\0' takes 1 byte , so "我“ takes 3 Every chinese charecter takes 2 bytes ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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/
