Hi Dave, Sabine, Norbert et all,

Few weeks (months?) ago I was also reviewing this topic of encoding a OS(Sub)Process. After surfing a bit the web, I found out the most simple and accurate answer/solution was indeed to set the correct locale and/or text encoding in the computer in question. Anyway...more answers below.

Now... what I don't understand from Sabine is.. she said this one works:

OSProcess �� command: ('cp ��/Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/b��r.pdf /Library/WebServer/Documents/reports/test-a.pdf' utf8Encoded)

But then my question is...does that work only because she's computer locale is UTF8? Or Unix* automatically decodes it and knows it is utf8?

If not...should I adapt the #utf8Encoded to the encoding defined by the terminal? mmm

In my OSX box I do have UTF8 set:

�� locale �� [13:56:49]

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ALL=

Norbert,

You are probably right. I'm not sure the best way to handle it.
