Re: watch hebrew?
2009/7/1 Yuval Hager yu...@avramzon.net: if I try to run $ watch echo שלום123 I just get the '123' on the page, Hebrew characters stripped. man watch says: Non-printing characters are stripped from program output. Use cat -v as part of the command pipeline if you want to see them. but if I try $ watch echo שלום123|cat -v I get something like: M-WM-)M-WM-^\M-WM-^UM-WM-^]123 Any way to idea Hebrew characters under watch? Not a solution but a possible work-around might be a simple shell loop: while true do clear date echo 123םולש sleep 2 done --Amos ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Any way to idea Hebrew characters under watch? File a bug, it's probably a unicode issue. Non-ascii does not mean non-printing. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

This works for iso-8859-8 locale, but not for UTF-8 locale. I think it's a bug in both watch (for treating these characters as unprintables) and in cat (for the same reason). I do believe they have problems dealing with multi-byte characters. I have nothing to suggest besides sending a bug report.

The culprit is the use of isprint to figure out whether a character is printable or not. The problem is that the interface for isprint has an interface that makes it impossible for it to know whether the character is printable or not.
