Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Ls help: ls not working with start character search (^) Post 302786013 by Don Cragun on Tuesday 26th of March 2013 04:29:39 PM

The key point that rveri seems to be missing is that the shell uses filename pattern matching (not regular expressions) when expanding the arguments that will be passed to ls. Although there are some similarities between pattern matching and regular expression, many of the details are different.

MARC::Charset::Code(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  MARC::Charset::Code(3pm)

NAME
MARC::Charset::Code - represents a MARC-8/UTF-8 mapping SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Each mapping from a MARC-8 value to a UTF-8 value is represented by a MARC::Charset::Code object in a MARC::Charset::Table. METHODS
new() The constructor. name() A descriptive name for the code point. marc() A string representing the MARC-8 bytes codes. ucs() A string representing the UCS code point in hex. charset_code() The MARC-8 character set code. is_combining() Returns true/false to tell if the character is a combining character. to_string() A stringified version of the object suitable for pretty printing. char_value() Returns the unicode character. Essentially just a helper around ucs(). marc_value() The string representing the MARC-8 encoding. charset_name() Returns the name of the character set, instead of the code. to_string() Returns a stringified version of the object. marc8_hash_code() Returns a hash code for this Code object for looking up the object using MARC8. First portion is the character set code and the second is the MARC-8 value. utf8_hash_code() Returns a hash code for uniquely identifying a Code by it's UCS value. default_charset_group Returns 'G0' or 'G1' indicating where the character is typicalling used in the MARC-8 environment. get_marc8_escape Returns an escape sequence to move to the Code from another marc-8 character set. charset_value Returns the charset value, not the hex sequence. perl v5.12.4 2010-03-29 MARC::Charset::Code(3pm)
