Re: Re: Regex (find an * after a digit)

It thinks so, but I'm not using Unicode anywhere. Here's the whole script.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#
use strict;
use warnings;

my $file = "input.txt";

open ( FILE, $file ) || die "Can't open $file $!";

while ( <FILE> ) {
        chomp;
        if ( $_ = /\d+\*/ ) {
                print "$_\n";
        }
}

As for the \d{1,} -- I was actually going to put an upper limit on it at one point, so just wrote it that way. For now the + will do though.

Update - I tried on another machine, and it works, so it's definitely machine related. Both machines are running Perl v5.8.0 Cheers

Do you get the same error if you use =~ instead of = ?	[reply]

From perl581delta: `=head2 UTF-8 On Filehandles No Longer Activated By Locale In Perl 5.8.0 all filehandles, including the standard filehandles, were implicitly set to be in Unicode UTF-8 if the locale settings indicated the use of UTF-8. This feature caused too many problems, so the feature was turned off and redesigned: see L</"Core Enhancement +s">.` [download] Consider upgrading, or switch to a non-UTF8 locale, or binmode FILE.
