Re^13: search and replace strings in different files in a directory

in thread search and replace strings in different files in a directory

Dear Choroba,

Thanks for enlighten me, I was not aware of this particular issue. I found out that there is a module for that in perl, but since the code I am using does not use file handles at the crucial part, I am not sure how to use File::BOM correctly. Is there a way to use File::BOM with Path::Tiny or would I have to create a new script?

Thanks a mil in advance for your comments

Kind regards

I'd just remove the BOM manually before passing the string to Path::Tiny: `my $directory = shift; my $BOM = "\x..."; # Fill in the actual problematic string $directory = s/$BOM//;` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]
