I have a simple code, but it doesn't work and don't know why. Please see it
below:
Input file: 1.txt which including number and letter "o" in one line.
10o10o10
Wanted output file: 2.txt in which 10 represent 10 dots and o is replaced
by letter "x".
..........x..........x..........x
The perl code I wrote is below:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while(<>){
chomp;
if(/^10o|o10o|o10\z/){
s/10/.………/g;
This contains some Unicode stuff instead of ASCII dots.
If you examine the email closely you will see it is not Unicode:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
s/10/.=85=85=85/g;
If you replace it with:
s/10/('.' x 10)/ge;
It should work.
Or just:
s/10/........../g;
