':', ' ' line 4 - path = folder + myfiles[1] + '.txt' line 5 - myfiles_text = Zlib::Inflate.inflate(myfiles[2]) line 6 - File.open(path, 'wb') {|file| file.write (myfiles_text) } line 7 - end if the second line of array contain a file name with non asciii char, the loop dont work. when the line 4 is executed, the next loop is executed. ex: if the array contains 3 files: 1 = test 2 = test * number 2 3 = another test the line 2 is ignored and only 2 files is created. but there is no error.
