Er, I assume from the fact that you ask that just doing it didn't work. Please post a _minimal_ but _complete_ script in which you've tried and it's failed. Since this is character set related make sure you tell us what character encoding you used to save the script (utf8, Latin1, Windows-1250 etc...) There's no reason why just doing it should not work (in a script saved in Latin1 encoding or in utf8 with 'use utf8') . if (/# Societ Generale Long Dated/) { do_stuff() } If you want to avoid having to think about the encoding of the script. if (/# Societ\x{e9} Generale Long Dated/) { do_stuff() } On May 23, 12:36 pm, endaman <keepyourstupids@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Hi, > I want to match this string > # Societ Generale Long Dated > how can I match this whole string including the french accent > character?
