in thread String match in Chinese character

Thanks choroba for reply. The suggested method is as my very old way of coding style. However, I will encounter an issue with my editor whereby I must have the .pl file saved in UTF-8 encoded type in order to hard code it like while ($string =~ /【(.*?)】/g)

Furthermore, there are some other issue which I can't remember so I ditch such direct use of Chinese character in my codes.

    then escape the unicode in the regex:

    use warnings;
use strict;
use utf8;
my $string = '看【厂家直销 儿童加绒加厚打底裤 中小童冬季】Ib';

binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
while ($string =~ /\x{3010}(.*?)\x{3011}/g) {
    print "Match: $string\n";
}

    (I left the use utf8 so that I could easily include the same string that choroba did. However you get the string is fine)

      Or use the name of the character if you don't have the codes on the tip of your tongue: 

      use warnings;
use strict;
use utf8;
use charnames ':full';

my $string = '看【厂家直销 儿童加绒加厚打底裤 中小童冬季】Ib';

binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
print "Match: $string\n" while $string =~ /
    \N{LEFT BLACK LENTICULAR BRACKET} (.*?) \N{RIGHT BLACK LENTICULAR BRACKET}
/gx;


      The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
