Hi together, I have read many articles in the newsgroup and studied the FAQ on the cygwin homepage to enable german characters in the bash. But I didn't find a solution.
I have a fresh cygwin install on my system. I have created a '.inputrc' in my home directory with the following entries: set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on the file permissions are read, write and execute for everybody (only for test purpose). Now when I open my bash I get '\366' for an 'ö' and '\344' for an 'ä' and so on. When I type 'cat' then I can enter german character 'ö' 'ä' and so on. When I delete the .inputrc file then I can't see nothing when I type a german character like 'ö','ä' and so on. This seems for me that the .inputrc file is read by a bash execute. Any ideas?? It's really confusing Kind regards Markus -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
