Good idea! Thanks. If I use dash, this does not work.... $ cat urlutf8 #!/bin/dash /usr/bin/printf '%b\n' "$(/usr/bin/printf "%s" $1 |sed 's/\%/\\x/g')" $ ./urlutf8 "http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Param%C3%A8tres_r%C3%A9gionaux"; http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramètres_régionaux Not bad either. I will use this for my Debian Reference build script. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
