Searching for latin/umlaut characters in string

John Butler

5/1/2008 8:46:00 PM

Hi,

Ive read up a bit about uicode strings and the issues with rails after i
tried to save some data which contained an umlaut character. I got the
following error below when searching for a name that contained the
character é.

Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ')

Is there anyway to search a string for these types of characters and
then ill decide what to do later??

Some sort of string method like scan or include??

JB

No the string is coming in via a csv file.

str = "My cafe\xcc\x81 is good."
puts str

if str.include?("cafe\xcc\x81")
puts "yes"
else
puts "no"
end

Its Ansii as far as i can tell. Its actually coming from an excel
spread sheet and the user then "saves as" comma separted csv. Then its
import to the application wher i am running into the problem.

Here is an example of the csv file with the word below and how it is
displayed. They are identical. It looks like the file is utf-8 after
all.
