It would just be like:

postcontent.force_encoding('utf-8'))

right?  Or do I have to pass the output of that into another 
variable/string?

This is what I get when I use the above:

threads.rb:64:in `block in <main>': undefined method `force_encoding' 
for #<Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet:0x142b048> (NoMethodError)
        from threads.rb:21:in `each'
        from threads.rb:21:in `<main>'

Nope, it's the same code but the files1.csv has about 3000 lines/files 
in it.  I presume it's failing on the postcontent on one of those in teh 
array.

When I stick the force_encoding at the end of the Nokogiri call (since 
that's where the text is coming out from), I get:

threads.rb:20:in `<main>': undefined method `force_encoding' for 
#<Array:0xb3aae0> (NoMethodError)
