Array.index with utf-8

ruby-talk
1

Hi. I have a problem.

Windows7

I have an array with russian symbols. Then I want to find something
element in it by Array.index(elem).

In NetBeans 6.9.1 (it settings with utf-8) it works(write index in
FixNum class), but when i run .rb from a windows, it doesn't work(write
nil and NilClass). Why?

P.S. I'm paste the string: "# coding: utf-8" in the start of my script,
and all other operations works great, exclude this. What I must to do?

Thanks in advance

Are you sure that your file is really saved in UTF-8? Under Russian Windows,
for example, the standard Notepad will save it either in CP1251, which is the
ANSI locale, or in UTF-16. IIRC in WinXP notepad there is no way to save text in
UTF-8 (I may be wrong through).

Post 5 lines or less of code that demonstrates the problem. Also, state

1.9.2

Post 5 lines or less of code that demonstrates the problem.

pos = d.index(@buttonarray[i].get_value)+1

I have a big system with a diary, IO, wxRuby et.c. I can't send you code
you understand in 5 strokes.

STDERR.puts "d.encoding=#{d.encoding}"
STDERR.puts "value.encoding=#{@buttonarray[i].get_value.encoding}"
