Dear Alex,
=20
you can test for equality in regexps for different encodings in Ruby
=20
Equality---Two regexps are equal if their patterns are identical, they have=20=
=20
the same character set code, and their casefold? values are the  same
=20
    /abc/  =3D=3D /abc/x =C2=BB true  /abc/  =3D=3D /abc/i =C2=BB false  =20
/abc/u =3D=3D /abc/n
=20
=C2=BB false
The lang parameter enables multibyte support for the regexp: `n',  `N' =3D=20
none, `e', `E' =3D EUC, `s', `S' =3D SJIS, `u', `U' =3D UTF-8.=20
=20
That's information from the "Pragmatic Programmer's guide."
Unfortunately, I could not test it on a Mac ... There seems to be a special=20=
=20
encoding
for Mac, but maybe you can force it to use UTF-8 or something...
=20
Hope that helps.

Best regards,
