I have end up using ASCII Encoding instant of UTF-8 it does not find any thing if I use 'BC' . chr(0x20AC) . '01' then i change to 'BC' . chr(0x80) . '01'
The following code works if ( $euros eq 'BC' . chr(0x80) . '01' ) { # 0x20AC is the hexadecimal value of € # ... } which I am not sure if my code will work to all version of windows. Is there a different between using ASCII or UTF-8?
