Re: Re: Manipulating multiple matches

Yes, that works well. However I need to manipulate them (such as you just did) and then replace the match with the newly manipulated part. So that each of the "&#\d\d\d\d\d" becomes chr(\d\d\d\d\d) in the string.

Try this `my $string = "&#15123 la di da &#32714 do bi do &#04271" ; $string =~ s/&#(\d\d\d\d\d)/chr($1)/ge ; print "$string\n"` [download] Hope that helps.	[reply] [d/l]
