Message: 95609 BY: Clifford Caoile (piyo) DATE: 2010-12-28 14:30 SUBJECT: win32-dir fails on Japanese (resolution?)   Hi, I use win32 stuff and it's great. I'd like to make a suggestion for win32-dir. 0.3.7 seems to able to not finish "require" when using with Ruby 1.9.x on Windows XP Japanese. I suspect the SHGetFileInfo is returning a string in ANSI (MS-Windows31J, in my case), and the following string manipulation fails because the encoding is unexpected. I fix it by forcing the string to be reinterpreted as a ANSI string. --- a/lib/win32/dir.rb +++ b/lib/win32/dir.rb @@ -51,7 +51,17 @@ class Dir info = 0.chr * 692 # sizeof(SHFILEINFO) flags = SHGFI_DISPLAYNAME | SHGFI_PIDL SHGetFileInfo(ppidl.unpack('L')[0], 0, info, 692, flags) - path = info[12..-1].strip + newpath = info[12..-1] + if !newpath.ascii_only? + newpath.force_encoding($>.external_encoding || Encoding.default_external) + end + path = newpath.strip end end However I am unsure if this is the correct way to fix it. It Works On My Machine (tm).
