in thread how to remove é

Ok I looked up the code...but the following doesn't seem to be working

perl -i -pe 'tr/\xe9/FIX/d' test.txt

or

perl -i -pe 'tr/\00233/FIX/d' test.txt

What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much for the help you guys are great

tr/\xe9/FIX/d is the same as tr/\xE9/F/ and convert chr(0xE9) to "F".

tr/\00233/FIX/d is the same as tr/3\002/IF/ and converts chr(002) to "F" and "3" to "I".

What am I doing wrong?

What are you trying to do?

You previously alluded that you wanted to remove "é" characters that were encoded as E9.

perl -i -pe 'tr/\xE9//d' yourprogram.pl

But the "FIX" in the new code seems to indicate you want something else.
