Problem with REXML

Ruby
1

I have a problem when reading out strings from xml documents. The
problem is that special characters such as åäö comes out wierd. When
reading these characters from text files the problem doesn’t exist. Can
someone explain whay this is and, if possible, how I can fix it?

Thanks
Jim

What are the file encodings? Do the text files have a different
encoding than the xml ones?

The XML file is encoded with ISO-8859-1 while the text files are Windows
.txt files (for which I don’t have a clue what encoding they use)

It might help if you try saving the files as UTF-8 and then add:

$KCODE = ‘u’
require ‘jcode’

in your script.
