From: Robert Dober Date: 2011-03-02T04:39:28+09:00 Subject: Re: finding a tag in a binary file Now I somehow succeeded to help our friend but I have to admit quite some ignorance with 1.9 encoding issues. In order to parse a binary file with a regex I needed to encode the regex in ASCII-8BIT the best I could do was adding a completely unnecessary byte to the regex (0xf2 at the start) /\xf2?\x10\x00\x10\x00PN.\x00([\w^]+)/ I sure would appreciate if someone could point me to how to do this properly. Thx in advance Robert -- The 1,000,000th fibonacci number contains '42' 2039 times; that is almost 30 occurrences more than expected (208988 digits). N.B. The 42nd fibonacci number does not contain '1000000' that is almost the expected 3.0e-06 times.
