Re^3: sring encode problem (hexadecimal)

From the documentation of HTML::Entities:

       encode_entities_numeric( $string )
       encode_entities_numeric( $string, $unsafe_chars )
           This routine works just like encode_entities, except that t
+he
           replacement entities are always "&#xhexnum;" and never "&en
+tname;".
           For example, "encode_entities("r\xF4le")" returns "r&ocirc;
+le", but
           "encode_entities_numeric("r\xF4le")" returns "r&#xF4;le".

           This routine is not exported by default.  But you can alway
+s export
           it with "use HTML::Entities qw(encode_entities_numeric);" o
+r even
           "use HTML::Entities qw(:DEFAULT encode_entities_numeric);"

well. i am not so understand the doc as English is not my native language. here is my code to test it again and it works . It do produce string "€" start from "&#x" while it has 5 digits which is not 7 byte string . `#use HTML::Entities; use HTML::Entities"encode_entities_numeric"; $string="€"; # ("€" expected out put result after encoding) $encoded = encode_entities_numeric($string); print $encoded;` [download] while when i test it in this way `#use HTML::Entities; use utf8 ; ########### use HTML::Entities"encode_entities_numeric"; $string="€"; # ("€" expected out put result after encoding) $encoded = encode_entities_numeric($string); print $encoded;` [download] it print out character "€" itself as if there is no encoding happened. what should i do??

Works for me: `#!/usr/bin/perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use HTML::Entities qw[encode_entities_numeric]; my $string = "\x{20AC}"; my $encoded = encode_entities_numeric $string; say $encoded; __END__ €` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Hi JavaFan Thank you for your code. you are right. now it is work indeed however in your code line 7 my $string = "\x{20AC}"; Is "\x{20AC}" equvalent to "€";?? why do you use my $string = "\x{20AC}"; instead of $string = "€"; would it be possible to use my $string = "€"; ?? as i would pass value from form to it . these value would be any double byte character. Many thanks	[reply]

could you give me a sample code to prove it ? The code you need is right there in the part of the documentation I quoted.	[reply]
