Hmm, unusual. Can you check one more thing please ? What's the current value of the LANG (and possibly also LC_ALL) environment variable ? if your current locale isn't actually set to a UTF-8 locale, that might explain some of these problems. Either that, or the utilities on the system you're on just can't handle UTF-8 properly at all. I'm having no issues with this at all on my Linux box, so it could always be something Solaris-specific also. If I get the chance I'll try to test it on a SunOS-style box this evening if I can.

Hi,
OK, think I might have a SunOS-based solution for you here. Caveat: this was tested on Tribblix, an open-source Illumos based version of Solaris, so it's SunOS-like, but not official "proper" (or paid-for, more to the point) Oracle Solaris. But it should be compatible enough for almost any purpose.
So, the answer I found was to use octal rather than hex. Try this:
It's possible there's a little-endian-versus-big-endian byte order issue with the hex substitution, so rather than try to get my head around that I thought to try to octal, and that seems to do the job. Let us know how you get on.
Hi ,
i'm using special binary file (lotus notes) and modifying an hexadecimal address range with windows hex editor and it works fine !
The file is an AIX one and i'm forced to transfert (ftp) it before modifying it and re-transfert !
NOW i would do this directly under AIX !

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how could from a file where each row is separated by tabulations, the row values where are in blank replace them by a string or value.

I have a set of files without extensions. How can I programatically tell if a file is in gzip format? The gzip file format spec

Test::LectroTest::RegressionTesting(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::LectroTest::RegressionTesting(3pm)NAME
Test::LectroTest::RegressionTesting - How to do regression testing (for free!)
SYNOPSIS
use Test::LectroTest
regressions => "regressions.txt";
# -- OR --
use Test::LectroTest
playback_failures => "regression_suite_for_my_module.txt",
record_failures => "failures_in_the_field.txt";
# -- OR --
use Test::LectroTest::Compat
regressions => "regressions.txt";
# -- OR --
use Test::LectroTest::Compat
playback_failures => "regression_suite_for_my_module.txt",
record_failures => "failures_in_the_field.txt";
DESCRIPTION
Say that LectroTest uncovers a bug in your software by finding a random test case that proves one of your properties to be false. If you
apply a fix for the bug, how can you be sure that LectroTest will re-test the property using the exact same test case that "broke" it
before, just to be certain the bug really is fixed? And how can you be sure that future changes to your code will not reintroduce the same
bug without your knowing it?
For situations like these, LectroTest can record failure-causing test cases to a file, and it can play those test cases back as part of its
normal testing strategy.
The easiest way to take advantage of this feature is to set the regressions parameter when you "use" Test::LectroTest or
Test::LectroTest::Compat:
use Test::LectroTest
regressions => "regressions.txt";
This tells LectroTest to use the file "regressions.txt" for both recording and playing back failures. If you want to record and play back
from separate files, use the record_failures and playback_failures options:
use Test::LectroTest::Compat
playback_failures => "regression_suite_for_my_module.txt",
record_failures => "failures_in_the_field.txt";
Here is how it works:
1. When testing a property named N, LectroTest will check for a play-back file. If the file exists, LectroTest will search it for test
cases associated with N. If any such test cases exist, LectroTest will play them back before and in addition to performing the usual,
random testing of the property.
2. When performing the usual, random testing of a property named N, if a failure occurs (i.e., LectroTest finds a counterexample),
LectroTest will record the test case that caused the failure to the recording file, associating the test case with the name N.
NOTE: If you pass any of the recording or playback parameters to Test::LectroTest::Compat, you must have version 0.3500 or greater of
Test::LectroTest installed. (Module authors, update your modules' build dependencies accordingly.) The Test::LectroTest module itself,
however, has always ignored unfamiliar parameters, and thus these options are backward compatible with older versions.
SEE ALSO
Test::LectroTest gives a quick overview of automatic, specification-based testing with LectroTest. This module accepts failure recording
and play-back options.
Test::LectroTest::Compat lets you mix LectroTest with the popular family of Test::Builder-based modules such as Test::Simple and
Test::More. This module accepts failure recording and play-back options.
