Re: Using 'ord' in a regular expression for substitution

You don't really need to use a regular expression:

$string =~ tr/\342/'/;

But if you really want to:

$string =~ s/\342/'/g;

There is a difference. The OP uses `/i`. If `$string` has the UTF-8 flag set both â and Â will match `$r = chr 226; s/$r/'/ig;`. And if UTF-8 isn't set, there still may be a locale that plays a role.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
