Subject: Re: Weird error using String#[]

Thanks, Robert. The original post has the script with both expected and 
unexpected outcomes. What you show with the encoding screwing up the 
offsets makes total sense.

What I'm at a loss for is why it affects the hard coded portion of the 
string passed to puts:

Example:
puts "ret: #{ret}"

Output:
Oet: [part but not all of the expected string - 2 chars too short]

At this point I plan on using Nokogiri but I am really curious what is 
causing what I describe above. This is a weirdness for how strings / 
puts works that I'd like to understand and keep in mind going forward.

Thanks!
