Hi Robert, As I wrote earlier, please refrain yourself from using trunk right now for real development. It has well-known problems :-) The NSString bridging code for the new String should land later this week... Laurent On Mar 17, 2010, at 8:07 PM, Robert Rice wrote:

Hi group:

UTF-8 default is working again in 3/17 build but I have new problems with strings:

Given: def reportDate return nil if @calendar.nil?

desc = @calendar.dateValue.description desc.slice(0..3) + desc.slice(5..6) + desc.slice(8..9) end

puts "rptdate #{reportDate}"

I get: 2010-03-17 23:03:32.320 MacRuby 0.5[1594:a0f] undefined method `slice' for #<String:0x2022a9c40>

Given: def reportDate return nil if @calendar.nil?

desc = @calendar.dateValue.description.to_s desc.slice(0..3) + desc.slice(5..6) + desc.slice(8..9) end

puts "rptdate #{reportDate()}"

I get: rptdate #<Stin:0

@calendar is linked to a Date Selector object.

Thanks, Bob Rice
