Re^3: Problems Getting the Template Correct when Using unpack()

... I show a "C" character ... it's actually a "special" character (... 0x80).

Is this character always a 0x80 character? If it's always the same, do you really care about extracting this character (which looks like some kind of delimiter/placeholder)? If it varies, how does it vary?

I was thinking about a regex-based solution, and a constant 0x80 in the middle of the record could be a nice little anchor.

Update: Added <blockquote> block to start of node.

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

No, it's something that can be a part of a message string OR it can be a flags byte, so at times, will need further processing... but thanks for the thought..	[reply]
