Re: [wtr-general] comparing string containing Japanese characters

Anne,
one way to tackle that is to launch IRB, get @browser and evaluate expression: 

@browser.p(:after?, @browser.h3(:index, 12)).text


Also, I've found this series of blog posts on character encodings in 
Ruby extremely useful:

BTW, this area changed quite a bit in Ruby 1.9, and now Watir is 
compatible with Ruby 1.9, so you might want to look into upgrading Ruby 
first.
I just went through the Ruby upgrade for my Watir tests and it was not 
too bad.

I have a web page that contains some Japanese characters.
In my test, I'm trying to compare the string from the web page with a
pre-defined string in my test script (the expected result).  I'm just
not sure how to represent the Japanese characters (I've been
struggling with regular expressions and am still fairly new to ruby/
watir).  I get the text from the screen and store it in a variable
using:
      salesJapan = @browser.p(:after?, @browser.h3(:index, 12)).text

the expected results are stored in another variable,
expectedSalesJapan
but
How do I represent the Japanese characters in expectedJapanData?  I've
tried copying the text from the web page source and escaping the
special characters but I haven't been able to get it right.  (HTML is
below)

I'm using Ruby 1.8.7 and watir 1.9.0
