Hi!

I'm having a problem with ruby's spreadsheet gem.
while
book = Spreadsheet.open 'aou/a.xls'
works,
book = Spreadsheet.open 'äöü/a.xls'
does not (both paths exist).

is there a solution?

regards!

Hi,

Are you running Windows with Ruby 1.9.1? I know that unicode filename
support in Windows is kind of buggy. I've seen it suggested that upgrading
to the ruby-1.9.2-preview helps a lot, you might try that.

If you are using a 1.8.x, it might be as simple as setting $KCODE to 'U' or
running ruby with -KU

Try it out anyway, I don't know if that works or not...
