Subject: Re: how to remove strange characters

Hi Stephen and others,

Iconv only works for some characters. It doesn't work for the following 
scripts.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Li


C:\Users\Alex>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'iconv'
=> true
irb(main):002:0>  string1="Fatal injury or ruin:\223Hath some fond lover 
tic'd thee to thy bane?\224
\342\200\246"
=> "Fatal injury or ruin:\223Hath some fond lover tic'd thee to thy 
bane?\224\342\200\246"
irb(main):003:0>  puts 
Iconv.iconv('ASCII//TRANSLIT','utf-8',string1).to_s
Iconv::IllegalSequence: "\223Hath some fond "...
        from (irb):3:in `iconv'
        from (irb):3
irb(main):004:0>
