Hello Tor, the enconding - hint works perfectly, thank You very much! What leads me to the question why rails 1.9 interprets files as us-ascii - is this a good idea?
And hello Marnen, it was just an example, I came across when I tried to find an error in my application. I was working on the controller and just needed an array. But as I am a beginner I am absolutely sure I would have left things like that in the controller instead of putting them where they belong. So thank You very much too for reminding me. But no matter if I put my array in the controller or model I need the # encoding: utf-8 line. Conclusion for all non-US-collegues: The encoding problem often happens, when it comes to notices or error-messages I want to show to the user. Even if I know that my application will be in german it's worth it to leave those messages in english and use the localization-files (in my case de.yml) for the text with special character encodings. Thanks again, lesson learned :-) greetings Sven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
