Hi Yvon, 1.9 encodings in trunk have very little support for now, but we significantly improved them in a branch that might get merged into trunk in a few days (maybe today). I will post an update here once it's done. Laurent On Mar 11, 2010, at 8:46 AM, Yvon Thoraval wrote:

I have to read an UTF-8 encoded file with accentuated chars.

if i do :

#! /usr/local/bin/macruby # encoding: utf-8

SIGNATURES_FILE = "/Users/yt/dev/Signature/signatures.txt" open(SIGNATURES_FILE) do |file| file.each do |line| puts line end end

i get the correct characters on the Terminal, ie. :

... -- « Pour ceux qui vont chercher midi à quatorze heures, la minute de vérité risque de se faire longtemps attendre. » (Pierre Dac)

however when doing (with or without the .force_encoding("UTF-8" and , "r:UTF-8") :

t = "".force_encoding("UTF-8") open(SIGNATURES_FILE, "r:UTF-8") do |file| file.each do |line| t += line.force_encoding("UTF-8") end end puts t

i get wrong chars :

... -- « Pour ceux qui vont chercher midi à quatorze heures, la minute de vérité risque de se faire longtemps attendre. » (Pierre Dac)

the only difference is that i make use of a String t = ""

what did i missunderstood ? _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
