[Pharo-dev] encodings and regex clash?

Nov. 1, 2014

      Hi guys

I'm doing a small variable expansion to relocate my webpage. I want to 
expand -base- into <base>http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr</base>
Now it works when I test with some strings inside the image

trying
     "self new trying"

     ^ self sample
         copyWithRegex: '-BASE-'
          matchesReplacedWith: self baseString.

sample

     ^ '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="stef.css"/>
    <head>
-BASE-
       <title>Dr. Stéphane Ducasse</title>
    </head>'

baseString
     ^ '<base>http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr </base>'

self new trying results

  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="stef.css"/>
    <head>
<base>http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr </base>
       <title>Dr. Stéphane Ducasse</title>
    </head>'

and this is good.

Now when I work with a stream it does.

contentsOf: aFileSystemFile
     "self new contentsOf: (FileSystem workingDirectory / 'Books.html') "
     contents := aFileSystemFile readStream contents

tryingContents
     "self new tryings"

     ^ self sample
         copyWithRegex: '-BASE-'
          matchesReplacedWith: contents.

I suspect a problem with the encodings of the file. Do you have an idea?

Stef
