Hope this is what you were asking for: Before the print... $pBlock =~ /VS_VERSION_INFO.*/; print $&;
....prints: VS_VERSION_INFO ╜♦∩■ The rest of the script is just sorting out the numbers. But Perl fails to match past whatever it sees as '\n' so the info isn't there to work with. $pBlock =~ /VS_VERSION_INFO.*StringFileInfo/ would return nothing to $&. So why won't a multi-line match work with Unicode? > -----Original Message----- > From: Wagner, David --- Senior Programmer Analyst --- WGO > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 8:00 AM > To: 'Gary Hawkins'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: File version info > > What is passing through to the screen is the actual binary/hex data. > That is why the screeen has the little characters and the linefeeds. > > Can you provide that portion of the code, so we can see what you are > trying to do? > > Wags ;) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary Hawkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 02:55 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: File version info > > > > This is an effort to write filever.exe in Perl.
