It looks like `% perldoc -f uc % perldoc perlunicode % perldoc perllocale` [download] may be a good place to start. the lowliest monk	[reply] [d/l]

try to use a regexp, ~~lc and uc won't work~~ . `perl -le '$bla = "é_to_upper"; $bla =~ s/é/É/g; print $bla ;'` [download] Update:Zaxo is right: `perl -le 'my $e ="é"; utf8::upgrade($e); print uc $e;' #prints É` [download] "We all agree on the necessity of compromise.

Hi, Is there any way to convert lowercase unicode character(i.e é) to uppercase(É) in perl? Is it just me, or was anyone else tempted to answer this with just a "Yes, there is"? I really need to get more coffee... -- tbone1, YAPS (Yet Another Perl Schlub) And remember, if he succeeds, so what. - Chick McGee	[reply]
