Re^2: search binary file

data is like:
"my data^A77789^B^Bmore data"; i tried to match it using "/(data^A)(\d+)^B/", i would expect:
$1 = data^A
$2 = 77789
however, it didn't work. (note: ^A is one character)

By `^A` do you mean Control-A (i.e. `chr(1)`? If so, use this: `if ($input =~ m/(data\x1)(\d+)\x2/) { print "1 = $1, length = ", length($1), "\n"; print "2 = $2\n"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
