Re^2: A problem with dash typography

Sorry about the typos...that aside I believe you have nailed the necessary magic with the ':utf8'...excepting in this case it is required before I read the file. Will see what happens, thanks!

If you put: `use utf8;` [download] at the top of the script, this tells Perl that your source code contains UTF8-encoded unicode characters. If you want to read and write UTF8, do this at the top of the script: `binmode STDIN, ':utf8'; binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';` [download] Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

`use utf8;` is now in my new file template! And the change to STDIN is good, but what I need is a change to read IO in general... --hsm "Never try to teach a pig to sing...it wastes your time and it annoys the pig."	[reply] [d/l]
