I was very excited when I saw this, but I can't get it to work on my
system -- though I admit to having no knowledge of multibyte
characters and I would guess my problem is either an environment
issue, or a change that is happening in Rails 2.3, but perhaps you
could point me in the right direction.
here's a sample of my output...
ruby script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.0)
*******************************************************************
* config.breakpoint_server has been deprecated and has no
effect. *
*******************************************************************
>> DiacriticsFu::escape('Réne')
=> "Réne"
>> ActiveSupport::VERSION::STRING
=> "2.3.0"
>> str = 'Réne'
=> "Réne"
>> a = ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars.new(str)
=> #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ec47c8
@wrapped_string="Réne">
>> a.normalize(:d)
=> #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ec17d0
@wrapped_string="Réne">
>> b = a.normalize(:d)
=> #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ebced8
@wrapped_string="Réne">
>> c = b.split(//u)
=> [#<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165eb91c0
@wrapped_string="R">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165eb9148
@wrapped_string="e">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165eb9080
@wrapped_string="́">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165eb8fb8
@wrapped_string="n">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165eb8ef0
@wrapped_string="e">]
>> c.map{|ch|ch.length}
=> [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
So, on my system, what we expect would be a 4 character array with the
second of length > 1,
it's a 5 character array, each of length 1.
and just for kicks:
>> d = a.split(//u)
=> [#<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ead618
@wrapped_string="R">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ead5a0
@wrapped_string="é">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ead4d8
@wrapped_string="n">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ead410
@wrapped_string="e">]
>> d.map{|ch|ch.length}
=> [1, 1, 1, 1]
>> e = b.split(//u)
=> [#<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ea1458
@wrapped_string="R">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ea13e0
@wrapped_string="e">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ea1318
@wrapped_string="́">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ea1250
@wrapped_string="n">, #<ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars:0x7f4165ea1188
@wrapped_string="e">]
>> e.map{|ch|ch.length}
=> [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
If you see something that could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Like I
said, this could come in very handy for me.
Thanks,
John Devine
