Subject: Re: ruby 1.9.2 unicode with hex codepoint problem

Stupid of me. The file is indeed ISO-8859-1 (some other characters are 
encoded this way) just not this one, it's escaped.

This:
l.gsub!(/\\x([0-9a-f]{2})/i) { $1.hex.chr }
# or in ruby 1.9, if you want to tag the encoding:
l.gsub!(/\\x([0-9a-f]{2})/i) { $1.hex.chr("ISO-8859-1") }

is exactly what I want.

Thanks.
