I think you're seeing a multi-byte character. Perhaps try something like this: s/\xe2\x80\x9c/'/g Apparently this also is a "smart" apostrophe: \xe2\x80\x9d Of course, you can combine these with your other regular expressions: s/ \x93 | \x94 | \xe2\x80[\x9c\x9d] /'/gx HTH, -E _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
