Hi People, Im running the seed.rd for the countries from here: https://github.com/wdblair/Rails-Seed-All-Countries-and-All-States/downloads the author states that the file is UTF. When I execute the import I recieve the error: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)'' (from instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1739836/invalid-multibyte-char-us-ascii-with-rails-and-ruby-1-9 ) I tried adding this to the top of the file: # encoding: utf-8 but still no luck. I tried the instructions here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/rubyonrails-talk/invalid$20multibyte$20char/rubyonrails-talk/KKXeimNmjV4/B5qfG9trqW8J Still the same error occours. Im using ruby: 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09) [i386-mingw32] and rails: 3.1.3 running on windows. Any ideas what I have wrong?

Hi, <br>
<br>
Try to reconvert the file with "iconv -f
UTF-8" and add "#
encoding: utf-8" to the first line.... <br>
<br>
In case isn''t working I will suggest
to review the encoding of
the database and maybe to force it with "encoding: UTF8"<br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
<br>

Hi All, I tried everything and was going mad. I discovered redownloading the file and replacing my existing one fixed it after putting the utf header in. My guess is editing the file on windows somehow stuffed up the encoding (surprise surprise!).
