Re^2: PERL UNIX and strangeness and char conversion

OK! I THINK I GET IT perl -pe 'tr/\x93-\x94/"/' <INFILE >OUTFILE Inserts the " perl -pe 'tr/\x97/,/' <INFILE >OUTFILE Inserts the , perl -pe 'tr/\x91-\x92/'/' <INFILE >OUTFILE Croaks. If I insert "\" to escape the second ' IT STILL CROAKS! What is special about \x91 and \x92 in the above statement? At least I made progress this time...

The bash shell does not take escapes, try `perl -pe 'tr/\x91-\x92/\x27/' <INFILE >OUTFILE` [download] instead.	[reply] [d/l]
