Yes, it is the exact same string I'm using as argument! Any way I could find out about the encoding? Basically I'm trying to produce a permalink for an article name (submitted via a webform)... and add it to the db..it works with strings that don't have any special characters....but as soon as I add a French or Spanish accent in my string... I get the error... And I'm 100% sure the same code (I copy/pasted it) was working under cygwin... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
