Re: Regex to cange HTML %?? to char(0x??);

Well, here's a solution, but there's a module that does this--I just can't think of it now. Give CPAN a good look, and someone will probably respond with it. Here's the solution:

$str =~ s/%([0-9A-Fa-f][0-9A-Fa-f])/chr(hex($1))/eg;

How about these? `# The above shrunk a bit. $str =~ s/%([0-9A-F][0-9A-F])/chr(hex($1))/ieg; # - or more cryptic $str =~ s/%([0-9A-F][0-9A-F])/sprintf("%1c",hex($1))/ieg;` [download] Can anyone think of something that doesn't use hex? TGI says moo Update Bill's post and Abigail's clever method taken together let us chop off another character or so: `s/%([0-9A-F]{2})/"chr 0x$1"/igee;` TGI - Syncretic Cretin	[reply] [d/l] [select]
