Whenever I save a wordpeocessoe file [OOo, say] into a text file, I get a slew of hex codes to indicate the char to be used. I'm looking for a perl one-liner or script to translate hex back into ', ", -- [that's a dash), and so forth. Why does this fail to trans the hex code to an apostrophe? perl -pi.bak -e 's/\xe2\x80\x99/'/g' If there any another other tools, I'm interested! tia, guys, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 5.67a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
