Re: Match full utf-8 characters

[hdb]

This is a workaround but should remove all non 255-ASCII characters:

use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;

my $str = 'a…b';
$str =~ s/(.)/ord($1)<256?$1:''/ge;
print "$str\n";

This works if $str is implicitly provided in the script, but not when it is read from stdin.
