in reply to Re^2: replacing close-single-quote with apostrophe
in thread replacing close-single-quote with apostrophe
That command is wrong. You want
perl -CSD -Mutf8 -pe"s/’/'/g;"
-Cio has no effect in that example, which you can see by removing it.
$ echo It’s easy | perl -pe"s/’/'/g;" It's easy
-Ci only has an effect if reading from a file
$ perl -Cio -pe"s/’/'/g;" <( echo "It’s easy" ) Wide character in print at -e line 1, <> line 1. It’s easy
This is what you want if reading from a file:
$ perl -CiO -Mutf8 -pe"s/’/'/g;" <( echo "It’s easy" ) It's easy
This is what you want if reading from STDIN:
$ echo "It’s easy" | perl -CIO -Mutf8 -pe"s/’/'/g;" It's easy
Combining both, you can use
perl -CiIO -Mutf8 -pe"s/’/'/g;"
Better:
perl -CSD -Mutf8 -pe"s/’/'/g;"
