however, when doing some spliting by :

def get_signatures
  t = "".force_encoding("UTF-8")
  open(SIGNATURES_FILE, "r:UTF-8") do |file|
  #open(SIGNATURES_FILE) do |file|
    file.each do |line|
      t += line.force_encoding("UTF-8")
    end
  end
  #File.open(SIGNATURES_FILE, "r:UTF-8").each {|l| t += l }
  return t.split(NEEDLE)
end

(notice i've forced the encoding)

signatures = get_signatures
c = signatures.count
puts "Nombre de signatures : #{c}"

r = rand(c)
puts "Signature al�atoire (n� #{r}) :"
signature = NEEDLE + signatures[r]
puts signature

the output is wrong in that case ???

Nombre de signatures : 29
Signature al�atoire (n� 1) :
