UNICODED string into array

[Guest]

Hi !

I have an issue where I have to process string character by character
and when special character occurs I need to make some action.

The problem is that the string consists
unicode characters as well so when I do something like
@a = split //, $mystring
I get multiple entries (from two to 4 bytes).

What I need to do is mostly to replace those characters with some normal
character (X for example)

Let's say I have unicode character with the code 010f.

$mystring=~s/\u{010f}/X/g doesn't work.

Any idea ? Should I use some speciall library to do that ?

Are there different versions of the Cookbook? My 1.8 is "Expanding

The Second Edition has 1.8 as "Treating Unicode Combined Characters as
Single Characters"

Didnt help me much. I used regex substitution like ~s/ě/X/g

Maybe I should have asked you this from the very beginning:
what do you get after the substitution? or what do mean by
"not working"? You should post a short code piece and tell us
what you get by running it.

Are you on Windows/Linux/Mac...?
