in thread sring encode problem (hexadecimal)

Thanks for the enlightment.
Use a bind operator (=~) instead of an assignment operator (=).

now it seems print out a utf-8 encoded string.
while it is not 7 digit in the format of "& #x20AC;" (which is 7 digit)


Thanks again

    What's the encoding of the source file? By not saying otherwise, you've communicated that it's iso-8859-1. Add use utf8; if it's encoded using UTF-8.
