encoding infos? about highline

[JEG2]

Have you made sure the encodings for those Strings are set properly? This code seems to work for me under 1.9.2:

# encoding:  UTF-8

require "rubygems"
require "highline/import"

$terminal.page_at = 20

content = ""
30.times do |n|
  content << "Line #{n + 1} of content…\n"
end

say(content)

yep! but my strings are retrieved from an xml file that contains utf8 chars..

I think you're right. maybe i just have to set the encoding correctly ...

do you have an hint on how to do this?
i'm calling str.encode("UTF-8")

on my strings but highline gives the error I've posted above..

tnx for your help

btw everything is fine if i'm not using page wrap

using wrap error is:
highline-1.6.1/lib/highline.rb:733:in block in wrap': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError) from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.1-p378/gems/highline-1.6.1/lib/highline.rb:732:ineach_line'

Well, if the data is UTF-8 and it's just flagged wrong when it was read in from the XML document, you probably want:

str.force_encoding("UTF-8")

You can read more details about why this is needed on my blog:
