Subject: Re: ruby 1.9 hates you and me and the encodings we rode in on so just get 	used to it.

Thanks for the suggestion of using ascii-8bit.  This solved my problem.

The line of code that was giving me fits was the following line.  Worked 
in 1.8 but didn't work in 1.9.0

puts Dir["**/*"].select {|x| x.match(/(jpg)$/)}

when I changed it to this

puts Dir["**/*"].select {|x| 
x.force_encoding("ascii-8bit").match(/(jpg)$/)}

all was well.

            Regards,
               Gary
