In that case, this should work: my $string =~ s/\^[AM]//gi;
I think you just have to escape the '^'. -----Original Message----- From: Anurag K.

Yes , they are literally "^A".These characters appears in the file when a ascii file was ftp'ed to a unix machine in binary mode. I don't have that ascii file now , so i have to correct this file in unix. -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Johnson [mailto:tjohnson@;sandisk.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 8:12 AM To: 'Anurag K.

Because if it's the latter, then you might be able to do something like this: my $string =~ s/\eA//gi; (According to 'perldoc perlre' '\e' denotes an escape) -----Original Message----- From: Anurag K.

Can anyone suggest a regex for this substitution ??? Thanks Anurag Kumar Singh AMDOCS DEVELOPMENT LTD. Limassol , Cyprus.
