Hello

The matched string which is stored in $1 is getting corrupted.

the regular expression i have is

"\xa0\xa0\xa0\x{100}" =~ /(\xa0+)/;

when i say ... if($1 eq "\xa0\xa0\xa0") this is true. It is working fine in Linux but not working (ASCII platform) but it is not working in EBCIDIC platform it is not working.

regards,
Nischitha

Perhaps the following applies.
"Usually this name is a single identifier, that is, a string beginning with
a letter or underscore, and containing letters, underscores, and digits."
