Hi Dave, Sabine, Norbert et all,
Few weeks (months?) ago I was also reviewing this topic of encoding a
OS(Sub)Process. After surfing a bit the web, I found out the most simple
and accurate answer/solution was indeed to set the correct locale and/or
text encoding in the computer in question. Anyway...more answers below.
Now... what I don't understand from Sabine is.. she said this one works:
OSProcess command: ('cp /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/bär.pdf
/Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/test-a.pdf' utf8Encoded)
*But then my question is...does that work only because she's computer
locale is UTF8? Or Unix* automatically decodes it and knows it is utf8?*
*If not...should I adapt the #utf8Encoded to the encoding defined by the
terminal? mmm*
In my OSX box I do have UTF8 set:
❯ locale
[13:56:49]
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
