Subject: ruby 1.9.2 unicode with hex codepoint problem

Hi,

I have the following test case:

$ cat test.in
Der gro\xdfe BilderSauger

$ cat test.rb
File.open('test.in', 'r').each_line do |line|
  puts line
  test = "Der gro\xdfe BilderSauger"
  puts test

The result is
Der gro\xdfe BilderSauger
Der gro?e BilderSauger

I have tried to put an encoding in the File.open() or line.encode()
without success. the '\' is recognized as a real '\', not as the
beginning of an hex escape sequence.

How can I get \xdf to be recognized as ß when reading from a file?

Thanks

--Gilles
