( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
When I send a POST request to a certain url, I get the string like that:
Compruebe si las direcciones URL que encontr\u00e9 en el archivo de configuraci\u00f3n son v\u00e1lidos

How do I decode strings, such as:
\u00e9
\u00f3
\u00e1

I've tried different things:

#It gives weird result: $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('u', $1)/ge; $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('U', $1)/ge; #Says, nonnumeric argument: $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('u', "0x$1")/ge; $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('U', "0x$1")/ge; $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/chr("0x$1")/ge; #Just stays as a changed string (\x{00e9}, \x{00f3}, \x{00e1}, #or with \0x{....}), doesn't interpolate: $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/\\x{$1}/g; $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/\\0x{$1}/g; #does not change anything: use Text::Unidecode; $text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/unidecode($1)/ge;

How to convert those encoded strings to utf8 chars?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
