How can I specify the encoding type to UTF-8 other than ANSI when creating a text file in RUBY? Thanks a lot. I've tried the ways found by google, but no available. E.g. tst = File.new("abc.txt","w:UTF-8") There is an error message: illegal access mode w:UTF-8 (ArgumentError) Please help me if there is another way to work it out, thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
