Does it help if you run with -K? (aka $-K)

Hi,

not sure at all about this one, but on my windows XP pro French,

doing a Dir.entries.each on a folder with accented letter
doesn’t gives UTF-8 back but rather the local encoding for my
filesystem :

in a folder containing the sub-folders:
têté
âfül

this script:
file = File.open(“ouput.txt”,“w”).binmode
Dir.new(“d:/test_accent”).each{ |dir|
file.puts dir
}

spits out a latin1 file (windows-1252, i guess) and not a
unicode one when run using ruby -KU.

I would have expected ruby to give back UTF8 values when
using the standard library.

Should I convert the latin1 to UTF-8 by myself ?
Thanks a lot,

Pierre Baillet
Ruby: happy 1.8.0!
