G'day makafre,

Welcome to the Monastery.

I see ++Perlbotics has provided a solution which you say "Works perfectly".

It's difficult to see exactly what you did with the s///, due to all the entity references muddying the waters (see below). You could have done this with y///cd (which is typically faster than s///). Using one of my standard aliases: 

$ alias perlu
alias perlu='perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -Mautodie=:all -Mutf8 -C -E'

Here's a short example to show the technique: 

$ perlu 'my $x = "X☺¥☺æZ"; say $x; $x =~ y/X¥æZ//cd; say $x'
X☺¥☺æZ
X¥æZ

See perlrun for any command switches that are unfamiliar to you.

"it seems that the site replaced some of the above characters with HTML code, sorry for this"

In general, you should put your code, data, and output within <code>...</code> tags: see "Writeup Formatting Tips" for more about that. However, with non-ASCII characters, it's best to use <pre>...</pre> tags, as I have in the example above. I also use <tt>...</tt> tags for displaying such characters in-line (e.g. in a sentence).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
