Not sure what's happening here:
I have a yml file with the following
address_1: '????????'
I'm loading this into a structure (@test_data) and then accessing it to
insert the values into text_fields in ie through watir. So basically I'm
relying on a few thousand dependencies :0
In VIM, the value in the yml file is correct, but when I print out the
value to the cmd prompt, I get :
"\230a\211\314\216R\214\247\230a\211\314\216R\216s"
Which looks like a classic encoding issue (using 3 byte rather than 2 or
vice-versa).
Given that Ruby hails from Japan, I'd have thought that someone has seen
something similar to this and would have a work-around/solution.
Googling hasn't provided me with anything so far. Right now I'm not sure
if this is a YAML/Syck issue, a Ruby issue, a or Windows issue. I have
installed the Japanese laguage pack on windows and all the text from the
server is displayed correctly in IE, so my guess is that Windows is
configured correctly. As I mentioned, VIM is displaying the text
correctly, so it seems to be saved to the file-system using the correct
encoding, but after reading using YAML it doesn't appear to be using the
same encoding...
I've just tried require 'jcode' to see if this resolves it - so far no luck
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
