Re^2: ignore UTF codes

you can access utf code... it depends on your situation... usualy from my experiances dos has been straight ascii... Let me see if i can find something for you

-------------------------------------------
Ok there is a utf8::is_utf8() module. Itll find out if your character is utf8. so for example

$a=chr(0x74);
print utf8::is_utf8($a)?"yes":"no";
$a=chr(0x470);
print utf8::is_utf8($a)?"yes":"no";
[download]

the output is "noyes" ...

if you can provide some more code i can give you a more specific answer

In the example line I gave before: Canciones\251STAMPID\253\277De quien es la cancion "STAND BY ME"*4 the cause I would simply like to delete the '\253' from the line (there is more that I will eventually want to do, but if I could complete this simple action, the rest ought to be a piece of cake. my first attempt at this was: $_ = s/\\253//g; This failed miserably. The problem is that the '\253' is being treated as a single character (i.e., if I try to highlight just one digit, it highlights the entire 4 digit string) I'm trying to write a c++ program to convert the codes to ASCII.
