My problem is not that the script is in ISO-8859-1, nor that the strings or ttt.txt are in ISO-8859.1. They have to be in ISO-8859-1 because all my scripts are in ISO-8859-1 and they are used together with Windows-Programs (in the DOS-Box) which read and write only ISO-8851-1.
My Problem is to handle in Shell-Scripts strings which are coded in ISO-8851 (and line-endings which depend on relative/absolute filenames, mounting and so on) without rewriting all the stuff. So what't the best setting in cygwin to echo ISO-88591? I still don't unterstand why the internal echo behaves in a different way from the external echo. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
