Re^2: PERL UNIX and strangeness and char conversion

OK! I THINK I GET IT

perl -pe 'tr/\x93-\x94/"/' <INFILE >OUTFILE
[download]

Inserts the "

perl -pe 'tr/\x97/,/' <INFILE >OUTFILE
[download]

Inserts the ,

perl -pe 'tr/\x91-\x92/'/'  <INFILE >OUTFILE
[download]

Croaks.

If I insert "\" to escape the second ' IT STILL CROAKS!
What is special about \x91 and \x92 in the above statement?
At least I made progress this time...

The bash shell does not take escapes, try `perl -pe 'tr/\x91-\x92/\x27/' <INFILE >OUTFILE` [download] instead.	[reply] [d/l]
