Mmm Just noticed another problem
char_from = "àéìòù" char_to = "aeiou" puts char_from.size => 10 puts char_to.size => 5 At least on my Mac. The problem here is encoding. Looks trickier than I first thought, would be a cinch if this was unicode and we were using Java :) Just decompose the unicode character and drop the accent characters. Ignore everything I have said and lets hope someone who knows about this can suggest a solution, I am intrigued by this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
