I'm working through the conversion of some fixed-length record files with
extended ASCII data and a series of characters in the some of the files
appears to be causing read_file to assume it's at the end of the file. These
won't translate in the various readers so I'll notate. My hex editor says
the last characters where it terminates are:
00 C7 07 CA 1A 29 00
I see everything up to the 1A (Decimal 26), meaning I can see the CA as the
end. According to an ASCII chart I found online 1A is the 'substitute'
character.
Is there a method in Perl I can use to ensure an entire file is read so I
can read every character without incident?
