Subject: Re: Encoding question

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for your help. It is a bit a try and error thing! This worked for 
me:

f = File.open("somefile.txt", "r:iso-8859-1:utf-8")
f.each do |line|
  ...
end

In real live I will have to process files (CSV) that are uploaded from 
anywhere, produced by any system (Mac, Linux, Windows) using whatever 
software like different versions of Excel, OpenOffice Calc or extracts 
from databases...

I don't know yet, how to determine the encoding of those uploaded 
files...

Tom
