Re: Encoding Problem - UTF-8 (I think)

Without seeing the script, it's hard to tell, but I'd guess you failed to specify the encoding layer when opening the file:

open my $FH, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', 'filename.txt' or die $!;
#              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[download]

Unpacking how? There are various templates you can use.

Update:

Yes, that's it:

#! /usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };
use Encode;


my $s = encode('UTF-8', "\N{MIDDLE DOT}");
say join ' ', unpack "C*", $s;

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

I unpacked with "unpack ('C', $_);" Hmm... in Notepad++ when the encoding is set to utf-8, it looks okay (a weird floating decimal point), but if I switch to ansi, then I see circumflex A + weird decimal point, which is what perl is outputting when it comes across this value. Sigh - I hate encoding issues - the IRQs of today. `map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2$d$e+$a,$e2 -$d2+$b);$c=$d2+$e*2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20` [download] Tom Melly, pm (at) cursingmaggot (stop) co (stop) uk	[reply] [d/l]

I hate encoding issues - the IRQs of today. It's worse. IRQs are/were a necessary evil; Unicrap on the other hand is stupid by design. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Unicrap on the other hand is stupid by design. Hey, BUK, how about a meditation? ;) I'm curious what you think about Unicode (and why it's stupid).	[reply]

Hmm... well, I struggled to get perl to interpret the rogue characters in a meaningful way, but this regex fixed them: `$value =~ s/\302\267/\./;` [download] `map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2$d$e+$a,$e2 -$d2+$b);$c=$d2+$e2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20` [download] Tom Melly, pm (at) cursingmaggot (stop) co (stop) uk	[reply] [d/l] [select]
