in reply to Re^3: replace string
in thread replace string

The input is
<b></b>Officially called <>“events,”< +/a> as "never events"
the string should be converted to
<b></b>Officially called <>“events,”< +/a>as "never events"
How can I convert only such characters.

    use strict; use warnings; my $input = "<b></b>Officially called <>“event +s,”</a> as "never events""; print "input: $input\n"; $input =~ s/“/“/g; # change the lines $input =~ s/”/”/gi; $input =~ s/’/’/gi; print "processed input: $input\n";

    produces

    input: <b></b>Officially called <>“events,&rdq +uo;</a> as "never events" processed input: <b></b>Officially called <>“e +vents,”</a> as "never events"

    This was done using your REs and appears to provide the output you are looking for.

    Better idea would be to provide hex dump of data, so we know what the actual bytes are
    echo |hexdump 00000000: 45 43 48 4F 20 69 73 20 - 6F 6E 2E 0D 0A |ECHO is o +n. | 0000000d;
    or
    echo |od -tx1 0000000 45 43 48 4f 20 69 73 20 6f 6e 2e 0d 0a 0000015
