Hello Perl forum. I am attempting to parse a file that contains a format I am not familiar with. I read in a record and assign it to $string. $string = "N o r m a n d v i l l e A d m i n" When I dump the string using this code, while ($string =~ /./g) { print "$& and " . ord($&) . " length " . length($&); }
I get and 0 length 1 N and 78 length 1 and 0 length 1 o and 111 length 1 and 0 length 1 r and 114 length 1 and 0 length 1 m and 109 length 1 and 0 length 1 a and 97 length 1 and 0 length 1 n and 110 length 1 and 0 length 1 d and 100 length 1 and 0 length 1 v and 118 length 1 and 0 length 1 i and 105 length 1 and 0 length 1 l and 108 length 1 and 0 length 1 l and 108 length 1 and 0 length 1 e and 101 length 1 and 0 length 1 A and 65 length 1 and 0 length 1 d and 100 length 1 and 0 length 1 m and 109 length 1 and 0 length 1 i and 105 length 1 and 0 length 1 n and 110 length 1 and 0 length 1 Can someone answer two questions for me please? 1. What format does this represent? 2. What function or library or regexp can I use to convert the string to the basic ASCII so that all these null codes go away? (In other words, I want to convert $string to "NormandvilleAdmin") Thank you Paul Rousseau
