Re^2: Search & replace of UTF-8 characters ?

I'm asking, not arguing...

Wouldn't it have worked if the script was called via a command-line pipe? So if it was called as

./levians_program.pl < source.bib > source_corrected.bib
[download]

that ought to work, right?

If you added some means of decoding to STDIN and encoding STDOUT, yes. `>perl -CSD -we"print chr 0x2660" \| perl -CSD -we"printf qq{%X\n}, ord +<STDIN>" 2660` [download] `-C` even works if you read STDIN through ARGV: `>perl -CSD -we"print chr 0x2660" \| perl -CSD -we"printf qq{%X\n}, ord +<>" 2660` [download] I don't have time to check the other tools right now. Update: Hey! `-C` DOES work with ARGV. I knew `binmode` and `use open` had problems with ARGV, so I took the OP's word for it when he said `-C` didn't work with it either. `>perl -CSD -we"print chr 0x2660" > foo >perl -CSD -we"printf qq{%X\n}, ord <>" foo 2660` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

-C even works if you read STDIN through ARGV:

>perl -CSD -we"print chr 0x2660" | perl -CSD -we"printf qq{%X\n}, ord 
+<>"
2660
