irb cannot handle multibyte strings because of a limitation of our readline implementation (libedit), but here it seems to be a different problem (the string is given as an argument and not from stdin).

but typing it in macirb directly gives the same result: {{{ $ macirb irb(main):001:0> p "Rübe" SyntaxError: (irb):1: unterminated string meets end of file from core:in `eval:' from core:in `evaluate: }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/352#comment:3> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>

#352: macirb does not eval UTF-String ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: dev@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Changes (by lsansonetti@…): * milestone: MacRuby 0.5 => Comment: We do use libedit because it's what's available on Mac OS X by default. Readline isn't bundled because of licensing issues. We are aware that libedit misses functionality (the biggest problem is certainly missing support for multibyte characters). But this isn't a MacRuby problem, you should report this to Apple using http://bugreporter.apple.com. Alternatively, in trunk (future 0.7) there is a new irb implementation (called DietRB) and it is possible to plug some pure-ruby readline code on top of it, fixing the multibyte input problems. -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/352#comment:5> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
