Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Regex to identify word in second position on a line Post 302796999 by alister on Sunday 21st of April 2013 05:02:47 PM

If the environment variables are correctly set, I believe that use locale; or -Mlocale would inform perl on how to interpret character classes.

Please do not mistake me for a competent perl hacker.

Regards,
Alister
