Hi folks, I found these characters in a recent cvs-all commit: 20 20 20 20 20 5b 53 75 62 6d 69 74 74 65 64 20 | [Submitted | 62 79 3a 20 56 69 6c 6c 65 20 53 6b 79 74 74 1b |by: Ville Skytt.| 2c 41 64 1b 28 42 20 3c 76 69 6c 6c 65 2e 73 6b |,Ad.(B <ville.sk| 79 74 74 61 40 69 6b 69 2e 66 69 3e 5d 0a 20 20 |ytta@iki.fi>]. | When viewed under vi, I get: Ville Skytt^[,Ad^[(B <ville.skytta@iki.fi> From less I get: Ville SkyttESC,AdESC(B <ville.skytta@iki.fi> The original email is at: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1425317+0+current/cvs-all+raw but it appears as "Ville Skyttd <ville.skytta@iki.fi>" which is presumably what I also want. background: As part of FreshPorts, the cvs-all messages are parsed into an XML document. These characters are causing grief and I'm not sure how to encode them or get the perl module XML::Writer to handle them so XML::Parser does not barf on them. FWIW: the xml is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> and I thought that encoding would handle those characters. thanks. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
