Hello all.

I am unpacking some unicode strings from a binary file. I have a string lik=
e:

"W\000M\000/\000T\000r\000a\000c\000k\000N\000u\000m\000b\000e\000r\000\000=
\000\003"

and I need to turn it into:

"WM/TrackNumber"

When I 'puts' the string it prints fine but I need to assign it to a variab=
le,=20
and when I try something like:

require 'jcode'
$KCODE =3D 'UTF8'
s.each_char { |ch| print ch }

it will print each char but return the original unicode string. And when I=
=20
try:

n =3D ""
s.each_char { |ch| n +=3D ch }

The entire unicode char is being added to n.

So can I extract an ascii representation of this string? I will admit I don=
't=20
know the first thing about unicode and I may be totally lost here...

Thanks for consideration.
