I am trying to import data from text files and several of the files contain accented e''s. I am reading the files through the File object. My MySQL db is setup as UTF8. On Rails 2.0.2. The error I get is "incorrect string value: ''\xE9...'' for column XXX This would seem to indicate that the file did not open with the proper encoding but I don''t see anything in the File class that would let me change that. Anyone have any ideas? Jeff --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
