Subject: Re: Premature end of regular expression with non-ascii chara

Indeed, it isn't in UTF-8. It's in ISO-8859-1 (Latin1). The problem here 
is that I would like to work in UTF-8, but I have to read in files. And 
these files are often (almost always) in ISO-8859-1. And I haven't found 
a way of converting these strings to Unicode in Ruby. 辿 and 竪 etc. form 
part of ISO-8859-1.

Anyway I remove $KCODE altogether in config/environment.rb and now it 
works. And Axel I also get the numbers. In config/environment.rb I 
added:

$KCODE = 'u'
require 'jcode'

to get Gettext to work. So it turns out that if you aren't fully working 
in UTF-8, you have to be carefull adding this.

Thanks for pointing me to $KCODE, twice!

Kind regards,

Nick
