If that is the case, that the OS expects a different encoding, then the OS(Sub)Process implementation should deal with it, not the user of the API. > Check the UTF8TextConverter class to do so. No, these converters are conceptually wrong, since they encode String to String, while it should be String to ByteArray. The ZnCharacterEncoder hierarchy should be used instead. String>>#utf8Encoded is a convenience method that can be used to do a quick conversion. > Hilaire > > Le 05/06/2016 18:39, Sabine Manaa a écrit : >> on command line, this works, my file is copied: >> cp /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/bär.pdf >> /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/test.pdf >> >> In Pharo (4+5) this does not work (file not copied, no error message) >> OSProcess command: 'cp /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/bär.pdf >> /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/test-a.pdf'. >> >> This works (file is copied): >> OSProcess command: 'cp /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/bar.pdf >> /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/test-b.pdf'. >> >> Seems that german umlauts don't work. >> >> Is there something, I can I do, I don't want to replace the umlauts in >> filenames... >> >> Regards >> Sabine >> >> > > -- > Dr. Geo > http://drgeo.eu > >
