o
Anybody know if I can do a perl substitution of the scads of
\x80\x9D to simple double-quotes (") from the command line?
I've got many HTML files with this strange syntax (must be from
Windows) that I'd like to make human-readable for myself. I
know how to change s/OLD/NEW/ and make a *.bak of the old using
perl from the cmd line. But nothing this obscure. ---Yes, I have
scoured some web/perl docs; still fuzzy.
thanks in advance,
gary
