Hi,
I want to check the file encoding of files in a directory.
Until now i have tried =
found in an older thread in comp.lang.ruby
class String
def utf8?
unpack(‘U*’) rescue return false
true
end
end
found in an older thread in comp.lang.ruby
utf=Array.new
others=Array.new
Dir[“Y:/test/**/*.xml”].each do |path|
open(path) { |f|
(f.read.utf8?) ? uts<<path : others<<path
}
end
and also tried the chardet Library (no ruby documentation included)
like that
require ‘UniversalDetector’
utf=Array.new
others=Array.new
Dir[“Y:/test/**/*.xml”].each do |path|
open(path) { |f|
UniversalDetector.chardet(f.read) =~ /utf-8/ ?
uts<<path : others<<path
}
end
puts utf.join(",")
puts others.join(",")
Are there better / simpler ways ?
Regards, Gilbert
