Hi there, Being a relatively happy Rails user I suddenly noticed that string#capitalize and friends do not play well with international characters well. Sample console session: $ ./script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.2.3) >> $KCODE => "UTF8" >> "яблоко".capitalize => "яблоко" Where "Яблоко" was expected (Russian word

Hello, I have a Rails App which serve a Soap Web Service with ActionWebService. I accept 2 string parameters that must contain xml. The data sent are in UTF-8, but the non-ascii char (é, à ...) in the message are crippled at the end. I tested the app, database, html, ... all accept utf-8, a direct http post works well, but going through the web service broke the content. I tried to manually set

How about this: we expose the known conversions of wxMBConv to wxruby global methods. Then we create a $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING globals that has a reference to those procs. In the ruby-string to wxString typemap, we use ruby to invoke $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING. That way, if people want a different method, they can write one (even a pure-ruby one) that changes the

I ran across a problem today in which some code ran fine in regular operation but failed in a test case. I scratched my head and thought "why would running from within the test harness change the behavior of my code?" Clearly it was the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in action! :) I discovered the root cause was that the rspec runner is setting the magical ruby global, $KCODE, to

Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2). Some files are sent with different sizes (e.g. default css example, or controls.js ), and it

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

I''m trying to get substring from a utf-8 encoded string. (say, first 50 characters of the string) String#[0..49] would give me the first 50 bytes not 50 characters.. I know there is jcode library, but it only let you count number of characters in utf-8 string. unicode gem doesn''t seem to help much. unicode_hacks gem seem to solve the problem, but it also seems to

Hello all, I''m trying to import some csv data (that has latin characters) using faster csv but I keep getting a MalformedCSVError: "Unclosed quoted field on line 1."

My application uses only UTF-8. Which is the canonical place to do something global like setting $KCODE? -- fxn

After digging through the rails code to figure out why my asset_host wasn''t getting applied to emails, I realized that it''s because the config object in the context of a mailer is config.action_mailer and not config.action_controller. This means you need to set asset host separately for emails, as config.action_mailer.asset_host. Should this be considered a bug? Is it really

All, Currently, the Win32::API.new method will search for the function name, then the ''A'' (ANSI) name, and finally the ''W'' (Wide) name. The code looks something like this: fProc = GetProcAddress(hLibrary, TEXT(RSTRING(v_proc)->ptr)); if(!fProc){ VALUE v_ascii = rb_str_new3(v_proc); v_ascii = rb_str_cat(v_ascii, "A", 1); fProc =

Hi there, I''m building a rails application for German and English speakers. However, I''m having some problems validating German-specific characters (????). I have a tag-model which validates format of :name, :with => /^\w+$/. This throws an exception if german characters are used. My tables are all utf-8 and my environment.rb has the lines $KCODE = ''u''

Hello, I am trying to convert french characters into latin ones using inconv but I face some problems. Here is what I am doing in ruby console: >> $KCODE = ''u'' => "u" >> @x = ''x éèçà x'' => "x éèçà x" >> Iconv.new(''US-ASCII//TRANSLIT'', ''utf-8'').iconv @x => "x ???? x"

But the display is then fucked up. i get wierd symbols ------------------- Another situation: I have seen a post here to add to environment.rb: $KCODE = ''UTF8''

Currently, it appears to_xml will automatically escape any entities into their corresponding &XXX representation. There''s a piece in the documentation that says "If $KCODE is set to u and encoding set to UTF8, then escaping will NOT be performed." Unfortunately, this doesn''t appear to be the case. Even after following the docs and ensuring that default_charset is

All, As some of you know, Jeroen has added support for Unicode strings in the unstable development version of FOX (version 1.5). I''m trying to plan ahead to decide how best to support this for FXRuby 1.6, but I don''t really know anything about Ruby''s support for Unicode or i18n in general. If you''re familiar with this topic (how/if Ruby deals with Unicode
