Dear Michal,

hmm.
I have written the most complex Czech text file I could think of containing
the words Cesky and cesky - with hooks, that is, and saved it in UTF8
encoding as file utf8.txt.
Now, having installed Library No. 8 from _http://www.yoshidam.net/...
(http://www.yoshidam.net...) ,
the following script

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/c/axelhome/ruby -Ku -rjcode
require "unicode"

text=IO.readlines("/c/axelhome/ruby/utf8.txt")
p 'mytext'
p text
c=text.to_s.split
p c
d=Unicode::downcase(c[0])
e=Unicode::downcase(c[1])
puts "are the first letters equal ? #{d==e}"
------------------------------------------------------------------

returns true.

Hope that helps,

Axel

Somepeople who install Debian won't even have a compiler, and almostnobody has a compiler on Windows.Also note that unless you know the language you are processing youcannot get correct upcase/downcase. For one, in most languages usingLatin letters I is uppercase form of i. But I heared that in Turkishthey use both I, I with dot, i, and i without dot. Consequently, I isuppercase form of i without dot ..ThanksMichal-- Support the freedom of music!Maybe it's a weird genre .. but weird is *not* illegal.Maybe next time they will send a special forces commandoto your picnic .. because they think you are weird. www.music-versus-guns.org http://en.police...
