Hi All,I would like to replace some entities in the text file with symbols using Perl.This is working fine for some special symbols but for the characters such as Zeta we should use Unicode/Hexadecimal values - xcex96. We are doing like this s/&zeta1;/"xcexb6"/g; . This is working fine only for 2 characters such as xb6. How to use this in Perl? How to make use unicode value for zeta in Perl.Any kind of help will be appreciated.Thanks,Shiv

:%s/&zeta1;/"xcexb6"/gthis is working fine in vi.. u want it to rit as a perl code using some match for substitution?see for only some char which are taken as special meaning by perl u have to escape it using ' other wise it will replace nything u want.'

~s/&zeta1;/"xcexb6"/g; is working Fine. If there is any special character use in front of it.......

Then use escape character..
suppose / is the part of string then you can write like / where is escape character
