Re: Malformed UTF-8 ???

It's redundant for this code. `$foo` means data that's to be treated as either a single item or as a single item container containing a single item. `$$foo` means put the single item in $foo into a single item container containing it. Given that this appears on the right of `=` the single item

Re: Malformed UTF-8 ???

I see no significant difference beyond the inside of your proc and the outside of the code you've shown. The extra `$` in `$$proc` is redundant. (I don't understand why you have it.) The `(...)` is the same as my `: ...`. It can wait until you switch to `slurp`. I wouldn't expect it to make

Re: Malformed UTF-8 ???

Almost certainly your problem is elsewhere. When you refer to a variable as a *value* then you get its *value*. So: return $ReturnStr returns $ReturnStr's *value*, not the variable. Your code returns such a value, which will be an immutable string. So I think the error message you're getting

Re: Malformed UTF-8 ???

Are you sure the error message you showed applies to the line you showed? This code works fine: spurt 'foo', 'bar'; my Str $ReturnStr = ""; $ReturnStr = 'foo'.IO.open.slurp-rest: enc => 'utf8-c8'; say $ReturnStr; # bar -- raiph On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 10:52 AM ToddAndMargo via perl6-users <

I just tried slurp-rest with a specified encoding and it worked fine. Are you sure you don't bind $ReturnStr between the declaration you've shiown and the use you've shown? -- raiph On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 10:35 AM ToddAndMargo via perl6-users < perl6-us...@perl.org> wrote: > On 10/14/18 2:29

Change the encoding to `utf8-c8` to let the invalid unicode through. or use binary methods. or make sure it isn't in some other encoding. On Sat, Oct 13, 2018 at 5:18 AM ToddAndMargo via perl6-users wrote: > > Hi All, > > if $StdOut { $ReturnStr = $$proc.out.slurp-rest; } > > gives me >

Re: Malformed UTF-8 ???

Why are you asking about cleaning something up? Is it because you thought `Malformed UTF-8` was an error message? If so, great, because it IS an error message. If not, you need to know that Malformed UTF-8 is an error message and we need to think about how to make that more clear. So that's

Something's wrong with the data file you are reading. Perl 6 is expecting UTF-8 encoding and getting something else (usually an ISO-8859 encoding). On Sat, Jun 16, 2018 at 1:09 AM ToddAndMargo wrote: > rakudo-pkg-Fedora28-2018.05-01.x86_64.rpm > $ perl6 -v > This is Rakudo version 2018.05 built
