search for: yaml_string

When I use pp on an object in rails, it prints out a nice string representation of the object. I am trying to pass objects from one server to another and I am wondering if I can just pass this string and create an object on the other server. Any libraries/functions out there that can do this? Or any other way to do this (not necessarily using pp). Thanks! -- Posted via

This is not a question but a report on the difficulties I had and the solution I found with respect to UTF-8, YAML::load, and Ruby/Rails. Comments are appreciated. - - - I had been struggling for two days to get UTF-8 working in my Rails app. I had/have a localization file, lib\locale\de.yml, that had iso-8859-1 encoding. I could not get that to display properly. Marnen, quite correctly,
