Aha! An example goes a long way, so now I understand the real problem.
You just need to change the codepage. cp1252 is the Windows equivalent
of ISO 8859-1. Since you want Greek, you need the ISO 8859-7 equivalent,
which would be cp1253, thus:
perl -CO -pe 'use Encode; s/\\\'([0-9a-fA-F]{2})/de
I've got an RTF document which contains this kind of encoding:
\cf2 \'c3\'e5\u769?\'ed\'e5\'f3\'e9\'f2\cf0
That renders the word "Genesis" in the Greek, i.e. \'c3\'e5 is the
capital gamma. As seen in another app which uses this RTF natively:
<>
I need to find a scriptable way to convert this k
