Hidden Characters in Regular Expression Matching Perl - Perl Newbie
I am completely new to perl programming. My father is helping me learn said programming language. However, I am stuck on one of the assignments he has given me, and I can't find very much help with it via google, either because I have a tiny attention span, or because I can be very very dense.
My problem is this:
I am attempting regular expression matching and replacement on a file that has a hidden character in the word I am trying to replace.
The character is ^A. It is in the word co^Amputer . It shows up multiple times, and all times has ^A in it.
My code is:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $rules ="/Users/caitlin/scripts/challenge.txt";
open my $FH,'<', $rules or die $!;
while (my $line = <$FH>){
$line =~ "s/computer/WINNER/g";
print $line;
}
According to my father, who is not available right now, I should be able to match and replace with method of matching that I am already familiar with, but it evades me.
And I did searches to try and find ways to match it, but I received answers that did not seem to apply to the issue I am currently experiencing.

In Perl I can write a condition that evaluates a match expression like this:
if ($foo =~ /^bar/) {

}
How do I write this in shell? What I need to know is what operator do I use? The '=~' doesn't seem to fit. I've tried different operators, I browsed the man page for... (3 Replies)

DJVU2HOCR(1) djvu2hocr manual DJVU2HOCR(1)NAME
djvu2hocr - DjVu to hOCR converter
SYNOPSIS
djvu2hocr [option...] djvu-file
djvu2hocr {--version | --help | -h}
DESCRIPTION
djvu2hocr converts hidden text from a DjVu file to the hOCR[1] format.
OPTIONS
Text segmentation options
--word-segmentation=simple
Use the same word segmentation as found in the DjVu file.
This is the default.
--word-segmentation=uax29
Use the Unicode Text Segmentation[2] algorithm to break lines into words, possibly fixing word segmentation found in the DjVu file.
Other options
--version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help and exit.
PORTABILITY
djvu2hocr uses a custom extension to hOCR to retain characters which cannot be directly represented in an HTML/XML document. For example,
control character BEL (^G, U+0007), is converted into the following HTML chunk: <span class="djvu_char" title="#x07"> </span>
