Hi Dave,
In ruby, when you need to input the non-English characters, you may
need to convert the characters to the right encoding.
In my testing environment, I use the Chinese OS. Ruby 1.8.7 + Watir
1.6.5.
It seems that It’s not very well about supporting non-English in Ruby
1.8.7. But IE in the Chinese OS supports GBK (code page is 936) by
default.
So I need to make sure the code.page=65001 in SciTEGlobal.properties.
And convert the string from utf-8 to GBK.
It should use “iconv”.
require 'iconv‘
Iconv.iconv(to, from, str)
to: encoding name for destination
from: encoding name for source
Str: the string which need to be translated
Eg.
@Username=”你好”
Username_text = Iconv.conv('gbk', ‘utf-8’, @Username)
Best wishes,
Arnold
