Re^4: Regex arrow key problem

if ($input =~ m/\x25/)

0x25 is the percent sign, 0x27 is the apostrophe. What are you talking about?	[reply]

My source must have been incorrect then. What is, or is there, the code for left and right arrow keys?	[reply]

According to others in this thread, it's `"\e", then "[", then "D" ==eq==> "\x1B", "\x5B", "\x44" "\e", then "[", then "C" ==eq==> "\x1B", "\x5B", "\x45"` [download] (Each of the three values are returned by different calls to `ReadKey`.) Based on what you said you have, `"\e[D\n" ==eq==> "\x1B\x5B\x44\x0A" "\e[C\n" ==eq==> "\x1B\x5B\x45\x0A"` [download] Update: Fixed first half.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
