Re: japanese in regular expressions possible?

[Joel Rees]

This script then behaves as I would expect:

#!/usr/bin/perl
no warnings ;
$f = "$ENV{HOME}/Desktop/biao.txt" ; # file saved as UTF-8
open F, $f or die $! ;
$/ = "\015" ; # only if the file has Mac line endings !!!
print "\x{8868}\n\n"; # prints the character as utf-8
for (<F>) {
  print "1.   $_" if /Ë°®/ ;
  print "2.   $_" if /\xE8\xA1\xA8/ ;
}
Note that if you write   use utf8;  it will NOT work
 Thanks, John

I'll give it a try, soon as I can get 5.8 installed on my iBook. 
(Running short of disk space, so I've been putting it off.)
