Dealing with accents

Hi!

I have an array containing a list of french verbs.
Ex : verbes =["Abaisser","Accder"]

If I print out this array on Windows Vista cmd I get as an output : ["Abaisser","Accder"] which is great.

Now if from the cmd I enter a verb to test if this verb is included in the array, it will work ok with "Abaisser" but not with "Accder" and I suppose it's because of the "".

Any idea how I could fix this ? Thanks

Hi,

in the terminal I made

verbes =[“Abaisser”,“Accder”]

and then

verbes.include?(“Accder”)

with => true

on a Mac terminal.

Is it special for Windows Vista?

Probably an encoding problem, dont know what text editor you use but
there should be an option to save as Unicode or ms-dos, something like
that, try that for the source code file.

I should try this one.

From the command I ask user to enter a verb and then it verifies the verb is contained in the array.

Ex (on cmd) 
Enter a verb : Accder

No verb such as Accder. 

Never tried it on IRB though.

Your file is internal encoding. You’re getting input from the user or a
file. That’s external encoding.

The Windows CMD is probably the worst console around. It doesn’t do
UTF-8 by default, you have to manually issue a `chcp’ command to switch
to UTF-8, and even then the console font does not support most Unicode
characters. I’ve not used the Windows console for quite a long time, but
I do remember that dealing with anything that wasn’t ASCII was horrible.

Hi, 

I do use Simple Text 2 . My file is UTF-8 encoded and the output in the cmd is ‎ok, if I print it out I get what I want. 
No, my problem is, when I from the command ask user to enter a verb : 

Enter a verb : Abaisser 

Then I get : Abaisser is in the array

Enter a verb : Accéder

Then I get : Accéder is not in the array

Hi,

I think I got it !

In my code :

test = gets.chomp.encode!(“UTF-8”)

Then as user is invited to enter a verb, he he puts “accéder”, he will
get as an output :

Accéder is in the array.

It works fine now.

Thanks for help.

Thanks.

I got this information once but had no need of it by the time.

I shall try.

As an example for “Accéder” in my Ruby array‎, it prints out as
“Acc\u00E9der”.

But I also get a false statement if I ask if ‎"Acc\u00E9der" is in my
array, which seems logical.
