Hi, I tried "export LANG=en_US" . But the esc characters remain. Cygwin is a linux simulator on windoze. Anybody who has worked on cygwin and faced similar problems? Should I try other lang settings?
Thanks, Chetak. -----Original Message----- From: david [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 1:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Strange characters Chetak Sasalu wrote: > > Hi, > > when I open perldoc in cygwin ,I get some formatting characters like > ESC[1m...) along with the text. > Below is a cp/paste of what I see on my screen. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > ------ > 1::NET::FTP(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation > .1::NET::FTP(3) > ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m > Net::FTP - FTP Client class > ESC[1mSYNOPSISESC[0m > use Net::FTP; this is quite comment because perldoc respects your locale so depends on your locale setting, it might come out one way or the other. first try to find out what LANG you are locale is set to: [panda]# env | grep LANG LANG=en_US.UTF-8 which by default uses the UTF8 character set in my box. if you set it to: [panda]# export LANG=en_US perldoc should come out prettier. Windows users normally do not have to worry about this. some distribution of linux, especially those from RH, might need to. david -- s,.*,<<,e,y,\n,,d,y,.s,10,,s .ss.s.s...s.s....ss.....s.ss s.sssss.sssss...s...s..s.... ...s.ss..s.sss..ss.s....ss.s s.sssss.s.ssss..ss.s....ss.s ..s..sss.sssss.ss.sss..ssss. ..sss....s.s....ss.s....ss.s ,....{4},"|?{*=}_'y!'+0!$&;" ,ge,y,!#:$_(-*[./<[EMAIL PROTECTED],b-t, .y...,$~=q~=?,;^_#+?{~,,$~=~ y.!-&*-/:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ().;s,;, );,g,s,s,$~s,g,y,y,%,,g,eval -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
