ISALPHA

[fred78980]

To take into account words with accent I wrote this while ($txt =~ /
\p{IsAlpha}/); The script does not give error message but it doesn't
work.
Your help is appreciated

Thanks

There isn't an error, so how do you know it didn't
"work". Post a short and complete example showing the issue.

I don't see "IsAlpha" in the perlunicode man page. Perhaps you want
"Letter" or "Alphabetic" instead.

perldoc perlre

The following equivalences to Unicode \p{} constructs and equivalent
backslash character classes (if available), will hold:

[:...:] \p{...} backslash

alpha IsAlpha

No. \p is a Unicodeism; locales and Unicode do not play well together
under current versions of perl. The locale-friendly version would be

use bytes; # just for good measure
use locale;

$txt =~ /[[:alpha:]]/;
