in thread character encoding ambiguities when performing regexps with html entities

ikegami: $path = '\\server\share'; # XXX WRONG

correct, I'd better written \\ and \' *can*
be escaped in single quotes.
BTW, I'd rather guess the problem the OP has
comes entirely from UTF-x to ISO-y-z (or sth. else)
conversion (but he did't hint to this or gave input data)
