Re^2: character encoding ambiguities when performing regexps with html entities

You don't have to escape the \\ if you don't put it into ".."'quotes (except \'),

But there's no harm in doing so. In fact, I always escape \ in single quotes to avoid accidently doing

$path = '\\server\share';   # XXX WRONG

Your changes produces no difference whatsoever.

ikegami: $path = '\\server\share'; # XXX WRONG correct, I'd better written \\ and \' can be escaped in single quotes. BTW, I'd rather guess the problem the OP has comes entirely from UTF-x to ISO-y-z (or sth. else) conversion (but he did't hint to this or gave input data) Regards mwa	[reply]
