Problem with special characters

Alejandro Michelin salomon

Hi:

O.S Windows XP sp3
Ruby 1.8.6

I am working with ruby using DBI::Mysql, and the returned descriptions
are not displayed ok. The puts command is displaying wrong characters,
when the text has special chars like á.

My program here :

puts "Olá Mundo!"; # for test

require "dbi";

begin
# connect to the MySQL server
dbh = DBI.connect("DBI:Mysql:test:localhost", "test",
"q3der3fe5ahy");

sth = dbh.execute("SELECT * FROM uf ");

sth.each do |row|
puts 'ID:' + row[0].to_s + ' Mi: ' + row[1] + 'Decrição: ' +
row[2];
end
sth.finish;
rescue DBI::DatabaseError => e
puts "An error occurred";
puts "Error code: #{e.err}";
puts "Error message: #{e.errstr}";
ensure
# disconnect from server
dbh.disconnect if dbh;
end

//=========== Result
OlÃ? Mundo!

Your input is in latin-1[1] but the windows console probably uses cp850
[2]. You could change the codepage with "mode con cp select=3D1252" (I
guess), use other software, or recode the output.
